Same-sex hand holding (Sshh): Our silent revolution

This campaign's aim is to INSPIRE and SUPPORT same-sex couples who want to hold their partner's hand in public.

"...when you're trying just to be thought of as a human being, the smallest victories feel like huge ones."

You don't have to fight to change the world. Promote love and equality by the simple act of holding hands.




Holding hands with your partner, where you can, is about being true to yourself and to those you love. This is not a protest, a rally, a Pride or a march. This is about you and the life you lead every day. We can do this.

Harvey Milk once said "You gotta give 'em hope".

The Hand Made Quilt (below) is patchwork of sshh photos, made with a little HTML and a lot of hope.
