A group of muscular, tattooed men sails along a narrow Amsterdam canal during Amsterdam Pride, posing and waving from a simply decorated wooden boat. They wear leather caps, boots, harnesses, and thongs or minimal leather-style clothing, leaving their torsos bare and showing a festive, provocative aesthetic typical of LGTBIQ+ pride. Above them hangs a white banner with the text “Amsterdam Pride, we are family,” while on both sides of the canal the crowd applauds from the sidewalks among brick houses, streetlights, bridges, and bicycles, creating a crowded, joyful, and activist scene in the heart of the city.
