Going to Holland tomorrow! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

interstella · 28th May 2008, 02:25 PM

My dad and I are going to visit some friends in Holland tomorrow (Thursday) and we won't be back until Sunday. There's only one problem - my dad and the friends we are seeing are VERY homophobic *head desk*

Oh well, I'll see you in a few days!

Andrew · 28th May 2008, 02:28 PM

Good Luck.

Have fun.

Just be careful.

**Martin** · 28th May 2008, 02:45 PM

Try and have a good time.

Don't be afraid to slip a few laxatives in their drinks if they start up.

**Gerry** · 28th May 2008, 02:54 PM

Don't let them get to you.

Have a good time when you're there! Let us know how it goes.

Oh that's great, have fun!!

But how can they be homophobic? Holland is one of the most gay friendly countries in the world, as far as I know! Bad luck I guess...

I think as you're walking down the street you could casually say, "Wow ! Look at the butt on that guy.!
That'd make things interesting.

Have fun.

I don't know where you're going and you're still a little young I guess but when I went to Amsterdam with my lesbian friend, we found the 'Pink Point Information' it's got everything you need to know about gay Amsterdam and the guy is really nice. The gay bars are pretty weird, mainly folkroric music, oh and the beer there is pretty strong too.
Don't wander too much at night, and be careful, theres quite a lot of crime in Holland.
