Twenty-five years ago today, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize marriage for same-sex couples. Celebrating 25 years of marriage equality is about more than marriage itself. Itโs also about dignity, freedom, and human rights. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #LoveIsLove

Japan's surrender on 15 August 1945 marked the official end of the Second World War for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The scars remain, also in Asia. Today, we remember and honour the victims of this war from the former Dutch Indies - in the Netherlands and worldwide. 1/2
