Lesbian couple attacked during Amsterdam Pride
The couple subsequently reported the incident to the police. However, the police indicated that the chance of catching the perpetrators is very small: “It was dark, they had a black scooter and we did not remember the license plate. We really didn't think about that at the time. ”
In their conversation with Het Parool, the couple also made clear why the incident emphasizes the importance of Pride: “People sometimes ask: why do you celebrate Pride? Why is it necessary to talk about it? Because of this. What happened to us can happen to any couple. It still happens, also in Amsterdam."
