Het is aankomende vrijdag paarse vrijdag. Een dag waarop studenten en scholieren in paars gekleed gaan om hun solidariteit te tonen met lesbiennes, homo’s, biseksuelen en transgenders (lhbt).
This Friday it is ‘purple Friday’. A day where students dress up in purple to show their solidarity with the LGBT- (Lesbian-, Gay-, Bisexual, Transgender- ) community. A day that once started on a high school in 2010 but quickly gained foothold at different educational institutes throughout the Netherlands. A small gesture from an organisation, but a world of difference to an LGBT student who has not fully settled yet.
