A Day In Hand

Same-sex hand holding (sshh): our silent revolution

A Day in Hand supports same-sex couples to publicly hold hands across the globe. The project heralds a revolutionary way of making the world a fairer place: a revolution in which anybody, on any day, can be a part of.

The idea is simple: to promote love and equality through the simple act of holding hands.

You know the amazing feeling you get when you see 2 guys or 2 girls holding hands? Imagine if we saw and felt that magic everyday. This campaign aims to ENCOURAGE and SUPPORT same-sex couples who want to hold their partner's hand in public. Could you do the same?

A Day In Hand is an inclusive campaign.

Straight people could be at the forefront in fighting for queer rights.
Straight people can support us by holding hands with someone of their same gender and uploading the pic. You don't have to be a black woman to object to sexism and racism. You don't have to be gay to object to homophobia. LGBT rights are human rights. We live and breathe in all communities. We are your mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, neighbours, teachers, police men and women. We educate, and protect you. We love and respect you.

Photographs should clearly show you holding hands. And since it's a public hand holding campaign an' all, the more people in the background the better. Faces are better than backs.

2) (If you're straight) Pledge to hold someone's hand of the same gender for a period of time (even if it's one minute) and tell us how it made you feel.
