Straight Dutch TV presenters get naked and intimate to fight homophobia – WATCH (NSFW)

By Samuel McManus

Two leading presenters from The Netherlands have stripped off and got very close indeed for a Dutch gay magazine.

Jan Versteegh and Tim Hofman, who host together on the Dutch broadcasting association BNN, have posed for the June Issue of L’Homo magazine to challenge perceptions of sexuality and masculinity.

“I think we have done this for more open discussion of [homosexuality] than we necessarily want to be in a sheet with our bare ass,” says Tim. “That’s nice, but secondary.”

Jan adds: “I hope we can show people that [it’s] just two men on a picture.”

Watch a behind-the-scenes clip of Jan Versteegh and Tim Hofman being photographed on location in Curaçao below. The non-Dutch speakers among you might not be able to understand a word that’s being said, but honestly, does that really matter?

The June edition of L’Homo is out now.
