    Sound great in general.
    As a gay American, moving to The Netherlands, Scandinavia or northern Europe is something I'm actively planning due to the comparatively more civil minded and progressive cultures there.

      Somehow it's sad to hear that. I hope you will succeed with your plans to move. 🥰

      Hé mannen, goede video! Helaas blijven die incidenten gebeuren, omdat er ook domme mensen bestaan. Ik ben blij dat het met jullie goed gaat.

      Have you ever been to France or Spain, those are very good countries to live in when you're gay

    I am with my partner for 34 years now and we do live a good equal life just as str8 people, but walking hand in hand is not done in the smaller villages in the country. The big cities are way more open and accepting then the country side. Even for us it is great to go to Amsterdam to be even more our selfes.

    I totally agree with the opinion as a Asian gay guy. I also have the similar mind when I see Asian people around because of how we grew up. It was a lovely video! Thanks for sharing!

    Love the video. We are also an international gay couple living in the Netherlands (with our own UA-cam channel 😅). I moved from Germany when I was twenty as well. My partner is Dutch. Would be interesting to have a chat with the 4 of us maybe once?

    Hi, i am visiting Amsterdam soon, and wondering issit "normal" for gay couples to hold hands in public? Just normal holding hands romantically. I thought i can be myself with my bf there..

    fyi, on this blood giving; the reason is that european rules have to be followed as blood is shared between courties for emergencies. were it just the netherlands, the rules would be different.

      I guess statistically it makes sense, maybe. But gay people are really on a long list of people who are singled out when it comes to blood donation. And like with gay people, it really always is something they can't do anything about either. Think of cancer survivors, transplant recipients and the like.

    For me the most important thing is that people has to be happy and enjoy live, and that everybody is not more ore less than myself with another skin color or when they are gay, for me they are the same to me in everyway.. I really hope that people with a religion accept the lesbian and Gay community more than they do now. They have to realize that the Dutch people accept there religion to, in our western community. So they have to accept the Lesbian and Gay community. I hope you will be happy in my country and enjoy living with each other.

    In the Netherlans, we still have a prevailing mentality of "live and let live" and "mind your own business", which translates into "I dont care what you do with yourself/your life, its not my business. That makes being tolerant easier I guess..

    Laws about blood donation have been changed. Sexual orientation / preference is no longer a factor in the decision if you are fit to be a blood donor.
