Dutch men hold hands in solidarity with gay coupleBy Judith Vonberg, CNN Updated 7:33 AM ET, Wed April 5, 2017(CNN)Men all over the world are standing up to homophobia by holding hands.From New York to London, and from Canberra to Amsterdam, famous figures and ordinary Dutch citizens have been posting images of themselves on social media with the hashtag #allemannenhandinhand (all men, holding hands).The trend was sparked by reports of a gang attack on a gay couple, Jasper Vernes-Sewratan, 35, and Ronnie Sewratan-Vernes, 31, in Arnhem, a city in the east of the Netherlands, in the early hours of Sunday morning.According to a police statement, the men were attacked by a group of young people armed with bolt cutters. Two suspects were taken into custody and four others later reported to the police station in connection with the attack.Continued: http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/05/europe/men-holding-hands-netherlands/index.html

What are you going to do when your company does this? Are you prepared to lose your job before burning that pinch of incense? How do you justify taking a stand for faith when it might mean losing the roof of your family’s head? ....
