- We stopped by the streets of Amsterdam to see what the Dutch had to say about LGBT. What would you have answered?

Broke: you just have to accept that old people are homophobic because it’s how they were brought up
Woke: these two old ladies
And the other older dude
My grandma is almost 80 and when I came out as gay she hugged me and said that’s completely fine :) I love her so much!
@Zuzanna S thank you! what I tried to say is that not all elderly people are homophobic, and the ones who are and blame their own generation for that are very intolerant and narrow-minded people. If an 80 year old can be tolerant and accepting, everyone could and should.
My grandma once told me there was this relative she didn't like so she randomly told her about these two female priests getting married cos she thought "if she's got such dumb opinions in general, that's surely gonna piss her off". And once she heard a girl talking about her dads on the radio and told everyone how cute she thought that was. She's really "modern" in that aspect but I know many older people are not
SXFlyer EXACTLY! That’s so cute! I hate when people use their age as a pass on homophobia (or racism), like they have adapted to other changes in society why not this one ? Ohh yeah because they are just homophobic and closed minded, not because they’re old. just like how some people use their religion as a way to justify their homophobia, they use their age.
"we're kind of bisexual" lol that girl is a legend
Isco-mania It is actually factual! The Tribes loved everyone in every way. Like many other places and cultures.
i do actually agree with it. I feel like we're all capable of being pan (aka being able to be attracted to everyone and anyone) but we're just kind of brainwashed by the examples society set for us when we were growing up. Love is universal, but us humans really like to limit ourselves apparently lmao
@@satxnspearl4328 yeah I totally agree, i believe you can fall in love with anyone no matter what you label yourself with.
hahahaah
Yea I THOUGHT THE SAME
The way that they’re all fluent in English is insane.
gabby. Dutch is not that different from english. I’m Dutch too, and becoming mostly fluent in English was just a little effort for me, and I’d say for the majority of my peers. It is insane though if you think about it, but as a Dutch person I’m just kind of prepared to meet people who can’t speak Dutch on a daily basis, because of all the national students, immigrants and refugees.
@@Lorebeholder Same here in Switzerland ^^ I couldn't talk to half the people I meet on a daily basis if I didn't speak english
im from the netherlands and at least 90% of the people i know were taught english at a very young age, so a lot of people speak english pretty well.
It's not really surprising at all. Amsterdam is world-famous, so they're full of tourists. And English is the common international language, so it's prudent to learn it if it's not your mother tongue. And I'm pretty sure they're required to learn it in school. And I've heard they play tons of American TV shows and movies there which they've been watching unddubbed their entire lives. So I would be shocked if they weren't fluent in English. Nothing to be impressed about, lol
Yeah, English is everywhere in the Netherlands. I started English classes in 7th grade, but I think I mostly learned it through consuming American/British media like tv, film, music, CZcams videos, games, etc. from a very young age.
This is refreshing to watch after a “What do Russians think about LGBT” video. It’s like bleach for your brain.
Edit: Wow, this comment blew up. I said ‘a’ video but I guess we all know THE video in question. 😂
Literally me right now LOL!
so u saw it too huh
@babeytrio Yeah lol. Don’t you just love CZcams’s algorithm?
Bruh same
i literally just watched that video LMFAO
if anyone’s parents don’t support you for being lgbtq+ i’m your dad now. 🏳️🌈
Awww hi Dad 💜
Hi dad! 😃
Thanks dad ^^
Hey dad !
love ya dad 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈💜
I moved to the Netherlands a couple of years ago, I can confirm that life here as a gay man is pretty good. My University professor is gay and really made me realize that I can reach far here regardless of sexuality. At work, people are pretty cool with it even when I at first was kind of discreet about having a boyfriend. I look forward to marrying my boyfriend here in the future.
good for you (:
Wish you all the best! I hope you and your husband to be live long and prosper ❤
❤❤❤
I could probably count the number of genuinely homophobic people I've met on two hands, if not on one. I'd say the only really homophobic places here are biblebelt villages and Islamic neighborhoods in bigger cities.
Happy for you dude
I watched this after watching the Russian one hahaha

@@DUWANGlai_kangyi Dude literally she's so wholesome
Just to clarify something - at the end you said that homophobic violence has increased in 2016, but this is not necessarily true. In reality it's just that more cases have been reported. This can be seen to be a success as it shows that the Pink in Blue system has been successful in allowing more cases to be reported and persecuted.
Inkweary And we have seen multiple cases receive media attention that turned out to be false or caused by provoking.
Also the increase is Mostly by none dutch people.

piet vink we do, they aren’t the main contributors.
@@richardvanhamond5528 Bedoel je serieus te zeggen dat het geweld vooral vanuit niet Nederlanders komt?
Want daar is geen bewijs van. En als je wel bewijzen wilt vinden moet je ook kijken naar welke achtergronden de slachtoffers hebben.

Nadjia Omori It’s Amsterdam - I will give it that you will not get this exact response in smaller cities and rural areas of the country. If you have a problem with LGBT+ then Amsterdam is the final place you need to be. I’ve never felt in any way unsafe holding hands with my partner there or making it known that we’re a couple - it’s just part of the fabric of Amsterdam.
Hell yeah my country is lovely ;)

"We all are kind of bisexual." Guess who won.
That's false, though. Many people are totally gay or totally straight.
LittleLulubee isnt it a spectrum though, like you can be %99.99 straight or gay
@@mina160 This is the definition of the word spectrum: "used to classify something in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points". So 100% gay and 100% straight are part of the spectrum.
Look up the Kinsey Scale.
LittleLulubee yeahyeah sure
bring this people to middle east. i need them so hard. (or just take me to amsterdam)
Coming to the Netherlands (not just Amsterdam please) would be much easier and fun for you 😄
@@straystay7606 doesn’t matter. i just wanna live somewhere where people dont judge (or at least don’t tryna kill) me because of my sexual orientation
@@delrey1391 that's horrible omg
@@delrey1391 I'm proud to say that people in the netherlands are pretty accepting. some middle school boys are horrible tho
Come to Deventer or Lochem, it's just as accepting (or better) as Amsterdam and with WAAAAAY less weedsmell everywhere and cheaper stuff bc we have way less tourism XD
Yup this is true. Here's how I came out to my dutch mom:
-mom I think I'm bisexual
Her: lol i knew that
Omg, my mom reacted the same lmao 😂😂 ( I'm Dutch UwU )
this is me to my friends (except i'm lesbian)
1:27 wow even the elders are accepting
that was so cute
Some of them are in Amsterdam. But not in the whole country.
2 lesbian elders don't represent all the elders. - 100IQ
LittleLulubee I don’t know a single non accepting old person in Veendam (Groningen) either. They’re generally less old fashioned here because religion is not present at all.
@@LittleLulubee In most parts of the country, old people are almost as accepting as young people (though probably a bit less informed). All the old people I know in my hometown (Apeldoorn) are totally ok with it.
what a beautiful and open minded country
Correction: city
Their minds aren’t open lmao, they think this way because it’s “offensive” to think otherwise
boy boy wtf
rebecca rhb instant reflex action: “wtf”
How about be more... open minded?
@@boyboy6123 Yes 'hating' someone for their sexuality - something which they can't control - is indeed quite offensive. They're not harming anyone, so why would you be against it? It's actually less damaging if you do let people live their life true to their sexuality, so they won't have wreck a family in their 50s when they finally give in to their feelings.
I totally get where "anti"-lgbt people come from, they're raised with the idea those relationships are unholy or something, but if you can't give a better reason than "you find it icky" or "it's against God" you don't have an argument. (I realise you never said any of this, you were probably hinting at the fact A'dam is too far left. But in this case, being open minded to lgbt people is actually the right thing to be.
As a gay expat that lives in Amsterdam, I can vouch for the Dutch and say that they are some of the friendliest and most accepting people I know.
Get the fuck back to your own country

I'm happy to see this Social Experiment. I'm transgender from Philippines💕🌈
i may be 2 months late, but what are lgbt and trans rights like in the philippines?
@@shallowsuns Our people's response to the LGBT+ is actually quite varied. In general, I think it's tolerated, but being "gay" is not as accepted. There are so many openly gay and transgender people here, and people don't necessarily treat them any different. For instance, gay men would run the designing and entertainment businesses because they're so skillful and funny. However, majority of the population are Christians so they still hold bigoted views on these people. You would often hear them call the gay people "bakla" (gay) as if they're a separate entity, and make those stereotypical assumptions about them daily. But like in most countries, there are definitely a growing number of allies, especially in the youth, for the community due to the influence of the west. I still know a lot of people who are against it, but just as many who love and accept all the queer people. But that is just my personal view on it based on my experiences.
You are not late. You are just very early ;D

Do u have any lgbt friends?
Granny: ony gay ones
Me: omg I respect ya girl
She meant, only gay friends, not lesbian or trans etc. Also it's not actually that big of a deal for older people to not be homophobic. Lots of older people are accepting. It's just harder for them because of the environment they grew up in. Russians have a similar problem but people aren't so surprised when a Russian person isn't homophobic.

Honestly, I've been to Amsterdam a number of times with my same sex partner and I've never once felt threatened or even the slightest bit uncomfortable. I'm from the UK where attitudes are mostly fine but Amsterdam is one of the very few places where we both feel completely comfortable and at ease. I absolutely love the Netherlands and its people.
Thank you!
aww that's so kind of you to say ❤😊 we appreciate you and your partner

I see you everywhere
Samee oepsie
How can I contact you
I’ve honestly been so pleasantly surprised at how kind and accepting people are. Even the people who aren’t 100% on board, still have a respectful attitude. I’ve seen a few videos like this and people’s opinions truly don’t match the social fear I feel inside as a gay youth. I think videos like this are so important because it makes people like me realize that I shouldn’t be so afraid of others or social interactions with strangers. Thank you so much for your content!
If yout gay god does not love you
After watching the Russian video... it's crazy how one nation is so evolved and the other is so backwards.
RESPECT RUSSIA
Well, then go help them. You will restore destroyed factories, power plants, roads, cultural centers, commodity factories, schools, kindergartens, heating facilities, improve agriculture, introduce new technologies, solve the problems of the homeless and unemployed, restore ecology and solve problems with garbage and return the high status of the educational and scientific sphere, make the country have a high ideological and cultural aspiration of the people, defeat criminal structures, drug dealers, corruption, so that people think about law and order and development and not about the darkness and hopelessness of existence. Is it weak for you to do such a thing? Do you not consider these problems as serious and paramount? Europe is even glad that huge amounts of money are flowing into it thanks to the offshore companies of Russian oligarchs and corrupt officials. Of course, no one thinks about this, because the main thing is not to think, but to be indignant and hate. Be healthy and happy)
Watching this as a bisexual woman makes me happy and tear up that everyone in this video, including the teens, thought positively of LGBT+ people!
@@_blank-_ you don't understand trans people at all
@@_blank-_ it's not about feeling. Gender dysphoria is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. It leads to people having the brain of one gender and their body not matching that gender, creating dysphoric feelings. It's nothing to do with gender roles or liking things that are traditionally associated with other genders.
@Evryatis Is this directed at me? I'm not even trans, I'm cis.
@@evyd88 It's not necessarily a handicap.
kpopchop well I’m Dutch and I hate gay people
As I live in Belgium and regularly travel to the Netherlands, I got a bit upset when the girl said “I’m proud we were first in something”. Dutch were first in many things, for example - they invented the principles of the capitalist society, and were the first ones to have such society back in 18-th century. So, they have a lot to be proud of, especially when it comes to building an advanced and respectful society. The Netherlands is an example of well organised country, with a perfect infrastructure. And I love that country.
Oh god wow you've made me hate the Netherlands more. I did not know we invented capitalism
-Do you have any gay friends?
-Yeah his girlfriend

@@nadaaisablink5495 yeahh
Didn't expect anything less from my fellow dutchies :). In the Netherlands even the far right politician parties are very much in favor of same sex marriage and the protection of lgbt+ people. Very proud of my country.
With the exception of the christians from the SGP, but they don't really count since they only have 2 seats in parliament.
@@KarlSnarks true, only the very conservative religious politicians are against, but they will never get any anti-lgbt through
Well being politically (far) right doesn't mean you're also conservative lmao. Most rightists are ok with LGBT people, but they want to get rid of the bullshit political correctness (I.e. social justice) and they want to regulate the immigration that's getting out of hand.
@@ivanstefko2724 It's doable to de-radicalize the conservative muslim population without trumping their freedom of religion: promote mixed neighborhoods, help them participate more in society, prohibit foreign funding of religious organisations, get rid of state-funded schools with an ideological backgrounds, etc.
The first few examples will aid in making people feel more included so that they are less separated by their own cultural in-group. The other examples are about decreasing the power that religious institutions hold over these communities.
@@KarlSnarks Haha and how you wanna do this :DDD Which country tried it and didnt fail.
I’ve been to 8 countries in my lifetime (25 y/o) and Amsterdam was the only city where I felt the most accepted as an openly gay man. Most people really accept you for who you are over there! Whether you’re gay, black, Jewish, poor, transgender, etc. It’s definitely crowded as hell but people are so friendly and open-minded and I would love to go back. In the end what matters more is the content of your character
The Netherlands is such a good country. I don't like saying that a certain country should be the model, because every single country has lots of problems to fix, but every time I hear news about The Netherlands is about how advanced they are, their high life quality, how good the education is (just take this video as an example where everyone is fluent at english when it's not even their original mother tongue)
i am dutch and politiclly active, yes we have flaws and can do better to me (a Democratic socialist) mostly on or way we handly privatisation and unbound capitalism. but our way our infrastructure is done yes other countries need to definitely look at our infrastructure policies and learn from it.
I went to Amsterdam's NEMO museum once and there was this part in it about the human and there was this video playing in that part talking about sexuality and gender and the difference between gender roles and gender identities and it makes me so fucking happy to see that in a museum.

Kedeng kedeng in de achtergrond😂😂😂
OEH OOOOEEEEH
Haha ja ik ging stuk🤣
As a Dutch (LGBT) teenager, for me it seems like, unlike how it is in most countries, it’s the younger teenagers (mainly teenage boys) that are the most homophobic, not the elderly. I mean of course we still have homophobic elderly, but it seems like more and more they’re just like “eh” about it while the straight teenage boys would be out there bullying people or making stupid and hurtful jokes and calling it disgusting.
Not to say all or most are like that, I’m very happy to live in this accepting country, it’s just an interesting observation.
Yeah.
They mostly do it because they are insecure though.
I didn't watch the Russian opinions about LGBTQ+, because I am a bisexual person born and still in Russia, so I know it all already through my experience.
Just want to wholeheartedly say thank you to both friendly people in the video and allies here in the comments. In the end of the day, I don't want anyone to discuss my sexuality or gender identity, because I just want to be comfortable enough to not even worry about that. Spread peace, no hate or propaganda 🧡🧡🧡
I'm Gay 🏳🌈 from Indonesia. Hope every country will respect LGBTQ right. Because love is human right
Jijik🤮
Fuck you ,your weird biologycaly thats not normal why would a male like men its just unnatural im homophobic
First thing first, you don't have rights to be respected and love also means not to force these ideas to children and make them feel lost while they are completely normal and castrate them chemically
going from a similar russian version to this is heart warming
I think the only thing I don’t like about LGBTQ+ title is that it puts a spotlight on people’s sexuality and I feel like I have to explain something I don’t need to explain to people , can I just dress and act and date who I want without having to explain myself ...
Not everyone is as open minded as you guys are , there are right wingers who still discriminate
JLew You basically don’t like labels. I’m not such a big fan of labels either, but I understand why they do exist. You’re the one who decides whatever you wanna do in this life, so it’s up to you wether you accept being openly labeled or not.

Did yall know that since a couple of days in switzerland its also illegal to bully gay people? Me living in switzerland is very proud about that lol

is it legal to bully anyone else tho cause imma be sad if its not
I must say. That smile face facial mask featured your guys really well. Especially, when you guys dancing together with that facial masks on, it looks fabulously funny, awkwardly cute. Plus, proud of the rainbow shining at Netherlands, all of us around the world were need that.
Last year I traveled to the Netherlands. Beautiful country ✨ 😍. I will never forget it!
And yes I can confirm that people there are more open minded about this because you can see rainbow flags quite often. 🏳️🌈 Sometimes they are visible but I have spotted tiny hand drawn rainbow flags on bus stations etc.
the way they all are fluent in English duhh~👌
Hi guys, thanks for watching the Russian version! And this version is nice too by the way!
I liked how you gave all the information, most importantly the last bit. There's still a long way in the path to end those aggressions, everything's not that bright! Keep spreading the positive message PD: I'd love to get a Spanish version
Gracias por el apoyo Sergio. A ver si pasamos por Madrid este año para poder hacer un video parecido ;)

If you do, make sure it's during Pride, you'll lose your shit :D
Nah, Amsterdam is 180° different from the rest of the country. Not that the rest of the Dutch are homophobic, but Amsterdam has a nasty habit of being politically correct.
Really fun that the background song is a song from Guus Meeuwes

But for real, long love the Netherlands, you are the best country in all of Europe 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
stay strong Hungary!!! sad about Orban's homophobic law but we support you.
Everyone's surprised the elderly support gay marriage, meanwhile I'm just surprised their English is this good XD (I'm Dutch myself btw, older generations don't tend to have English this fluent)
True, but keep in mind the video is shot in Amsterdam, where English proficiency tends to be even higher than in most other parts of the country.
somethingsomething thingy I agree with that elderly people can speak better English there in Amsterdam but with the younger people I think it’s almost equal everywhere around the country
@@Jojo-lr5yc I think it's definitely more equal than with elder people, but still not quite. I live in a mid-sized city about an hour from the Randstad, and I've met some teens/twenty-somethings that barely spoke a word in English.
Also I've noticed in Amsterdam, young people had much less of an accent when talking English, compared to most young people near my hometown or in Groningen were I lived for a while.
Lmao that dance at the end is hilarious
Watching and to hear this people makes me cry, Thank you.
I've just seen a similar video from Moscow... so to come back here was such a relief
I got kind of emotional listening to this because I felt so accepted, for the first time in my life.
Nobody is going to comment in the backgroundmusic?? 😂😂
Kedeng kedeng Kedeng kedeng OEH OEEEEEEEH !
I wish people in my country have same mindset like this.
No why that means they have honor and values
If they have the same mindset to support castration for children and doesn't have problem with gay marriage or any homosexual activity there is a high chance you won't be alive because obviously a bond between a man and women is the only strong bond that can create a whole life
"I went to Amsterdam without you and all I could do was think about you"
Although the weather in Netherlands is always cold and gloomy but still the rainbows shine there the brightest. That's why I wanna go there one day.
“ no I got no problem with it only I’m not looking at it “ 😂😂😂
Ooooh how I love my fellow dutchies , so proud of my country ❤️
I love how in this video people are mildly confused/awkward because they’re like ?? Obviously it’s completely fine it’s normal?? Why would it be different? But in the Russian video people are awkward because they think it’s disgusting
this video made me smile so much!
"I'm happy we can accomplish something first." 😂
As someone from the Netherlands.
I'm proud of my people in Amsterdam :)
I grew up in the Netherlands, I don't know if it has been the same for other dutch people but damn my life was gay. In my school there's always been several events about the LGBT we were taught about accepting it and normalize it. People in my class are often like 'I think I'm straight but there's always a chance that I'll eventually start liking the same gender or even another gender.' I like how they're open about the LGBT community and aren't afraid not be non heterosexual uwu.
Why do you have the same account name as Jon Cozart?
Everyone is so accepting! I love it😊

@@samvandevyver7822 oh yea! I know!! But still dutch people tend to be accepting :')
In Canada too! Everywhere I go... in St. John’s Newfoundland, there were SO many straight people at the pride parade in support of the LGBT community. Hell, I made so many friends. Canada was also one of the countries to first legalize gay marriage. I think around 13 years ago? (Don’t @ me if I’m wrong) but yeah. I’m out to everyone there and they’re all so supportive.

@@iz8635 gtfo 💀💀
Pink in Blue is not a separate group, they are all over the country as usual policemen and policewomen.
But when something happens and you want to report it, it is good to do it with someone who understands.
The issue does not have to have a relation with sexual orientation, but with feeling at ease and without fear of discrimination.
Of course they communicate with each other and share knowledge and experience.
This approach may have as effect that more incidents are reported, because the police is more accessible.
Like asking for a police(wo)man that speaks your language, knows your culture, or has the same skin color, that can be easier in communication.
I'm not often proud to be Dutch, but sometimes, like in this instance, I am quite happy to be part of the population.
Weird thing about legalizing something... when people start to become more open minded about things, the people who are against it will start to push back even harder, trying to prove that they are the ones who are right. This shows in numbers of violence, happens when people start feeling threatened...
Love is love, live your lives to the best of your abilities
"Holding hands on the streets." L-lewd...!
2:26 please accept me to your family I need this kind of positivity
Side note: I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community but it's nice to have accepting and tolerating grandparents
This made me smile like a baby😄riding over the rainbow...thank you so much!
The have fun was exactly my thought 😂 I mean, what else could be said 🤷🏻♀️
I live in the Netherlands and this is not everywhere, just the bigger cities.
Edit: I didn't say that if you live in a smaller city you're automatically homophobic!
My personal opinion is that you can be anything you want to be, but please get a room if it's going to get cozy. Doesn't matter if you are straight or gay, keep the French kisses at a minimum 😆
Lisanne C I wouldn’t say Groningen is a big city and I’ve never experienced homophobia there. Also not in my hometown(s) Veendam and Hoogezand...
@@roy_hks I didn't say that "smaller cities", which is not Groningen at all, are all homophobic
Lisanne C Was slechts een constatering honing
@@roy_hks Doe eens normaal
Lisanne C Oké ik zal wel niet weer een volledig neutrale constatering maken zonder bijbedoelingen. Wat is jouw probleem?
I hope Mumbai becomes as open minded as Amsterdam. We are still a lot behind the Netherlands
Yout videos, guys, give a good portray of the LGBTQ+ acceptance in Europe. Thank you! This is one of the reasons why I included Amsterdam in my travel with a gay friend.

i just wanna maybe provide somewhat of an answer to the rise in hate crimes, which is simply because theyre more reported nowadays compared to 10 years ago. we shouldnt be looking at the volume of hate crimes but the hate crimes committed per capita to judge the increase better and to clarify an estimate on how many of each year are potentially not reported or simply aren't given enough evidence to even call a hate crime. theres alot of factors in this kinda issues that even today, nearly 4 years later, we are still looking at
I’m a lesbian dual national & I’m proud that my two countries were 1st & 3rd in the world to legalise ‘gay marriage’
