Men all over The Netherlands are holding hands to protest against homophobia following an attack on two gay men in Amsterdam. The men told police the attack started because they were holding hands. Following the attack a peaceful march was held through Amsterdam attended by hundreds of people, holding hands to show support.
Journalist, Barbara Barend, then tweeted a call for "all men (straight and gay) please to just walk hand in hand" and a trend started under #allemannenhandinhand where men from across the world flooded twitter and instagram with holding hands photos. They included footballers, boxers, soldiers, and two politicians arriving at a meeting at the Dutch parliament holding hands.
The men in the photo work in Utrecht hospital in Amsterdam and the translation of their tweet is, "Because love and care is for everyone"
What's happening in the picture?
Who do you think they are, where do they work?
Explain the story?
Why did Barbara Barend call for all men to walk hand in hand?
Why did she say "straight and gay"? Why not just gay men?
Why do you think there are so many photos from around the world?
What does this show about people around the world?
Why have politicians joined in?
What do the people in the photo write,"Love and care is for everyone"?
How do you think the people who were attacked feel about the response?
Why is this story about no outsiders?
Why do some people attack people who are different? (because they don't understand about diversity and equality and no outsiders)
What can you do if you meet someone who doesn't understand about no outsiders?
