Ad van Weezel (87) has to participate at all costs in the boat parade organized during Alkmaar Pride with his partner Henk Velker (79). It’s quite a challenge physically, together they have three new hips. A man dressed in black and pink latex carefully helps them onto the barge of the Pink Society, an LGBTI society especially for over 55s.
