SNS Online Bitesized Series 2 - Holding Hands 4 Equality
from SNS Online · host Nick Randell
As Series 2 of SNS Online continues, we're also allowing ourselves the chance to explore further subjects in SNS Online 'Bitesized'. The *Holding Hands 4 Equality campaign is a perfect example, harkening back to our LBGT community days on dance music station, RTÉ Pulse. HH4E essentially asks everyone to help in making handholding ‘a casual, carefree act for everyone’, and is requesting that people from all around the world send in photos of themselves holding hands with their partners, friends, family – essentially loved ones – regardless of sexuality and race and religion. The campaign is hoping to get the hashtag #HoldingHands trending, and ‘D’ day is the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia on May 17th. In this interview, we talk to campaign founder, Southampton resident, Andy Cast, about the inspiration for the campaign, the groundwork already done and the help that only you and I can give! If you only ever share one show from the SNS Online range - this is it. Make #HoldingHands trend, send your photographs in, wherever you are in the world, and let's all celebrate our diversity. Also broadcast on BBC Radio Merseyside. SNS Online continues to offer an eclectic range of quality programming - free to download - to all like-minded people out there in cyber-space. These shows are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and are non-profit making. So please enjoy, download and share these shows on all your lovely social media - as essentially that is our advertising! And please, please, please...offer feedback on the 'SNS Online' FB page or Twitter(ScratchNTweet).
