TODAY IS
Same Sex Hand Holding (SSHH!) Day
Today (Saturday January 30th), thousands will come together around the world to hold hands. The aim: for people to live their lives openly, to challenge stereotypes of same-sex love and help create open communities free of fear. Could you do the same?
How it works:
- Hold hands with someone of the same gender
- Step outside
- Live your love
A Day In Hand announces the 5th international Same-sex hand holding (Sshh!) Saturday on January 30th 2010. On this day, same-sex couples and friends all over the world are encouraged to hold hands in public to support the visibility of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans (LGBT) people. It may be for only 1 min or for the whole day! This is a revolutionary way of encouraging and inspiring LGBT people to take responsibility for their equality and live their lives without fear or restraint. Straight people are an important part of our fight. They can take the Elvis Challenge.
