Same Sex Hand Holding

Same Sex Hand Holding

The Same-Sex Hand-Holding Initiative is a campaign to ask everyone present at the 2014 Sochi Olympic and Paralympic Games to take every opportunity to hold hands in public with a person of the same sex.

Denouncing the anti-gay laws in Russia and to call the IOC to action to end discrmination in sport. Before, during and after the Sochi Games, we're asking you to submit your photo of you holding your hand with a person of the same sex to raise awareness of this campaign. Please help!

Be a part of something truly special and global and lets try to make a difference in Russia and beyond.

Simply have a friend take a pic of you and a same sex friend/partner and post using #sshhi to Twitter Instagram and Facebook.
