My 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! :)
(Let me know if there's anything I missed, and sorry it's late--we had technical difficulties that were only just resolved today.)
"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."

Work commitments prevented us from seeing each other today, so we've taken
this yesterday (29/1). Great cause, will watch it with interest."

"Hi! This is Kilburn High Road indeed! I think Day In Hand offers especially young people opportunity to reclaim
the public space which have been denied to them as expression of
affection. It allows them to say in a very clear statement that they are
not willing to be victimised and a public space is truly public when
diversity can be seen ...

Pic was taken yesterday :-)"

"Hi! I'm Ging and my partner is Rose. Holding hand is so natural for us.
We do this amidst stares & smirks because we don't care what they assume about us.
Our honesty of who we are and how we love is the truth that they need to see and hopefully change the way they
see us. We just live our lives as out and as proud lesbian couple and lesbian parent to our 5year old daughter."
Ging & Rose

This was taken last Saturday, Jan 30, 2010 during the I am not Immoral video & photo exhibit/campaign in the Philippines.

However, yesterday we were in Estonia, walking through a wintry park, holding hands.
Here's the evidence.  And thanks for such an interesting site!"
