David Watkins & Stephen Fry

At a GALHA (Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association) lunch held last week Stephen Fry endorsed A Day In Hand for the 3rd International Sshh! (Same-sex hand holding) to take place on Saturday November 28.

According to Mr Fry:
“It’s the most touching thing that’s happened all year”

A Day in Hand spokesman said:
"A Day in Hand heralds a revolutionary way of making the world a more liveable place: a revolution in which anybody, on any day, can be a part of. The campaign is designed to promote equality of respect for people who wish to hold hands with someone of the same gender in public. It launched on May 17th this year and is now featured in over 20 countries worldwide. How? By holding hands we visibly challenge stereotypes and show we love and commit like everyone else. Anybody can take the day in hand. Events like Sshh! Saturdays remind people that each individual has the power to change the cultural zeitgeist. Holding hands with your partner or your friend, where you can, is about being true to yourself and to those you love."
