Brief Explanation

New research finds the LGBTIQ community twice as likely to feel uncomfortable holding hands in public. This film highlights the daily pressures that the LGBTIQ community faces. It's a simple and loving gesture to hold your partner's hand, however for fear of discrimination, and experiences in violence and abuse - the reality is that many in the community still don't feel safe. The disconnect between perception and reality is saddening. Holding hands is the simplest expression of affection, whether it be a family member, friend, first date or lifelong partner. It's hard to fathom, in 2017, that not everyone is comfortable with this small but significant gesture.
