4 Poofs And A Piano, best known as the House Band on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, have show their support for A Day in Hand, the campaign which focuses on people of the same sex holding hands in public.

Poof Ian said:
“Same-sex couples should feel absolutely able to declare their love in public, and hand-holding is a simple, yet powerful way to do this. I believe that seeing a same-sex couple holding hands in public challenges homophobia and raises awareness of the realities of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender lives. We encourage everyone to do the same.”

The first ever international same-sex hand-holding day will be held this Saturday (26).  Same-sex couples and friends all over the world are encouraged to hold hands in public to support the visibility of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people.

This is a revolutionary way of encouraging and inspiring LGBT people to take responsibility for their equality and live their lives without fear or restraint. Sshh! (Same-sex hand-holding) Saturdays in major cities will, the organisers hope, eventually become regarded as an important time when numerous same-sex couples can feel confident in holding hands and being themselves.
