The Netherlands. A beautiful country with great diversity.
I'm Yeşim...
...Mark, Elvira, Jan, Sibel, Ali, Liesbeth, Justin.
Our future is in the Netherlands, where I can be myself...
...and have my own opinion.
I'm here because I am a single mother by choice...
...which nowadays is considered quite ordinary.
I haven't come out of the closet completely yet.
Luckily, my environment generally accepts it.
Friends always think that I live like an American...
...but there are plenty of reasons to stay in the Netherlands.
My husband is a Turk and he's the love of my life...
...but we're unsure whether he can come to the Netherlands.
I don't want my children to grow up in a country with hate.
In a civilized country, no hate should exist...
...no hate should be spread...
...and no division should be promoted.
Dialogue is essential...
...with respect and decency...
...while maintaining everyone's inner self.
I will only say that I am Dutch, when other Dutch people also consider me Dutch.
No hate! Against anyone.
I don't want to hate anyone for their faith...
...their different sexuality, their color...
...or their political views.
No hate.
If we don't want to be discriminated against...
...then we also shouldn't discriminate against gays and lesbians.
No hate.
No hate based on religion or skin color.
We want a future without discrimination and racism.
Respect everyone's dignity.
No hate!
Speak out against hate!
