Among me and my friends here in Denmark it's sort of the only thing we do. A hand shake is too formal and business man-like, doing some sort of high five one or the other way will always come off as a bunch of white guys trying to be "gangsta cool", a slap in the butt is a bit... well, uncalled for. Simply nodding or something else to each other seems cold. Anyway, I guess among most leftist youngsters here in Denmark it's just what we do, gay implications aren't really that important to us, though the right-wing crowd are just as psycho about it as the right-wing crowd in the US.
