A Day in Hand - Same Sex Hand Holding (SSHH!)

International Same-Sex Hand Holding Week21 May 2010 8:09PMAs part of International Same-Sex Hand Holding Week, Jens Parker in Germany writes

"We've done it :). Germany is on the map. Although it was raining all day, we were about 160 people and for five minutes the Hauptwache was filled with people of the same sex holding hands. Surprisingly my little Flashmob created a little group movement and suddenly all people were forming a huge circle. Not quite the idea of SSHH but it looked quite impressive and the people were at least still holding hands of people of the same sex. ;) The media reaction is satisfying and next year I´ll make it bigger, better and with more people. SSHH! :) Here is the official video.Thank you very much for your idea and the support.
Greetings Jens"

This was an amazing event and evidence that the word is spreading. Our silent revolution is here.

Through the waves07 Feb 2010 4:22PMMy girlfriend and I really wanted to take a picture of us holding hands, but she's in Germany--so we held hands anyways, as best we could. She's the one who took the picture, not me. SSHH--when I do it with my girlfriend, I love it! :)

"To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day,
is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform." --Theodore H. White

"...love is. It just is and nothing you can say can make it go away because it is the point of why we are here, it is the highest point and once you are up there, looking down on everyone else, you're there forever."
