Amsterdam had to ban the use of rainbow flags in student homes because they became a target of arsonists. The same Amsterdam has incidents of violence against gay people just walking the street.

There’s a lot of towns in The Netherlands that are dealing with reactionary violence against gay people and symbols.

And then I haven’t even talked about the increase of fascist popularity.

Just because we have a few gay bars and a pride doesn’t mean we are a gay heaven or something. Homophobia is very much still a problem in The Netherlands. So much that I didn’t see gay people openly walking hand in hand an kissing in public until I moved to Belgium. So much that I, wearing a bit more flamboyant clothing, get harassed and intimidated in my Dutch hometown. And I’m not even gay.

Like, seriously, Russia is “Deadly dangerous”? So, why Belarus is just “Dangerous”? :D And of course, Ukraine is “a little dangerous”. Just a little, you know.

Maybe it’s map “Who are friends with the West”? Or “Who waves the rainbow flag the most?”
