Same-sex hand holding (Sshh) Saturday

You don't have to fight to change the world.

If you want to live in a world where you can hold your partner's hand in the street... hold your partner's hand in the street.

Take responsibility for your visability. On the last Saturday of every month find someone of the same gender, and hold their hand in public. It may only be for one minute or for the whole day!

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.

For more details please visit the A Day In Hand website, or call one of our team on 0300 123 9117 or 0845 643 9399

(Monthly on the last Saturday.)

Everywhere you are!, Sat May 26
