A special home nursing organisation for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender patients is being launched in Amsterdam on Thursday.

Gay Care Amsterdam says it wants to help people who feel they have to hide photographs of their dead partner or face discriminatory remarks from home helps.

‘In a traditional home nursing, you can end up with helps who don’t accept you because of their religion or culture and are not afraid of letting you know it,’ the Volkskrant quotes company founder Ed Sinke as saying.
