These two young guys are doing what a lot of male friends here do; hold hands. The guy on the left was trying to get me to not take his picture for whatever reason (oops, too late).

Often men here have 'very special' relationships with their best friends. It is pretty standard custom for men to have sexual relations with women only to have children, while other men or even younger boys are who they prefer for pleasure. It's true. We were even propositioned by younger teenaged boys before, although more often when we were down south than here.
