On May 5th, the Netherlands marks Liberation Day. We reflect on the end of the Second World War, and the fact that it enables us to live in freedom โ while recognising that we must never take peace and freedom for granted.

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
