A new campaign called A Day in Hand in the UK (though the campaign has gone global) is encouraging LGBT people and their supporters to hold hands in public. It invites LGBT people and their allies to the hand of someone of the same sex (be it their partner, and/or someone they respect or admire) in public. And take a pic of course (they have a "Hand-Made Quilt" of pictures and stories to go along with the photos that have been submitted.

David Watkins, the groups founder, says: "Hand holding is a simple, liberating gesture that is essential to our communities’ health." And I agree.
