LGBTI people are not asking for “special rights”. They demand only what international law promised every human being after the devastation of World War II: to be treated like everyone else - to have their basic human rights acknowledged, to be protected by international treaties just like everyone else, and to live with dignity as themselves, free and equal. Their rights are not an ideology, nor are they inherently in conflict with the legitimate rights and interests of others.

Commissioner for Human Rights@commissionerhr.coe.int · 2d ago

Does Europe still believe in human rights? In an op-ed in EUObserver, I warn that the undermining of the rights of LGBTI people serves as the tip of the spear in a broader backlash against human rights protection overall. #WorldPride www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

Young people are hanging out by one of Amsterdam’s many canals. Two girls are sitting on a bench. A young man is sitting on a fatbike, looking at his phone. Between them stands a typical old lamppost. On the left, a small part of a parked car can be seen, and on the right, a rubbish bin and a bicycle.

👑 OK, one more: the old Santos warehouse has been beautifully transformed into the new Museum of #Photography in #Rotterdam. The building rightly bears a crown on its roof. #ECK #marjamjars #ClassicMono #Interior #Architecture #NederlandsFotomuseum #Stunday #BlackandWhitePhotography #Buildings

My father, born in Rotterdam, moved to #Amsterdam as a child during the Second World War because it was a bit safer there. Together with my grandparents, they lived in #OudZuid. Never been there, but look what a lovely neighbourhood it is. #AmsterdamseSchool #Architecture #ECK #ClassicMono

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Today I joined the #PrideWalk #Amsterdam. It was so lovely to be together with so many people, who came together to show that we’re here. And yes, Pride IS still a #protest & not just a party to celebrate. More than ever, #LGBTQIA+ people must claim their place in society. #PvdD #LoveIsLove

📷🪞📸 ‘Asian imitation’ In 2016, same spot as yesterday’s picture, I bumped into these #tourists in #Amsterdam all equipped with cameras. I pointed my camera & got this reaction. 😁 #Photographers #marjamjars#Travel #ClassicMono #StreetPhotography #ECK #BlackandWhitePhotography #People #UrbanGaze

Ten years ago, on the same spot as the picture from yesterday, I bumped into a group of these typical tourists probably from China or Japan in Amsterdam. They were all equipped with a camera and busy snapping their shots, to have a look at later at home and then find out where they had been.
I pointed my camera on three of them and immediately this funny reaction came from them. Without being able to talk we exchanged smiles and they started photographing me as well. I think this is a perfect reflection of what I was doing. 😄
