The Day in Hand campaign has announced their fifth international same-sex hand holding Saturday. The group encourages same-sex couples, friends, allies to hold hands in support of gay relationships and queer public display of affection.
“Crossing borders, holding hands: this is now our community's most personal journey.”This January 30th, hold hands, walk freely, and take pictures to post on the campaigns website!
David Watkins, Founder, A Day In Hand
A Day in Hand is an international movement supporting the right of same-sex couples to display their affection publicly in the same fashion that many heterosexual couples do on a daily basis. Simple gestures like hand holding, kissing, and cuddling, are ways that couples are romantic with each other. Society makes it very uncomfortable and at times potentially dangerous for same-sex couples to show their love publicly. The Same-Sex Hand Holding project seeks to put an end to this form of societal injustice and intolerance.
Gay, bi or straight, hold a partner or friends hand in public and show support for gay couples love and visibility. There are events every month throughout the world but anyone can show their support at any time!
There are even worldwide chapters that have been formed:

For Minnesota In Hand contact Philip / email: minnesota@adayinhand.com
If you would like to start A Day In Hand Helping Hand chapter in your area please email: info@adayinhand.com
You don't have to fight to change the world. Promote love and equality by the simple act of holding hands.
This campaign's aim is to INSPIRE and SUPPORT same-sex couples who want to hold their partner's hand in public.
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.
Join A Day In Hand, make your life and others more comfortable.
