There are numerous instances of Captain Holt and Kevin showing affection for one another with a simple but firm handshake. While this might seem like a play on their very reserved personalities, there's actually a hidden meaning behind the gesture. For many years, before "coming out", people in the LBGTQ community were forced to hide their romantic feelings in order to avoid either homophobic attacks or even arrest. Many cities, including NYC once had "morality" laws wherein an LBGTQ person (or persons) could be arrested and charged with "public indecency" crimes. To avoid these problems, gay men would show public affection for one another by giving firm handshakes instead of kissing. Since Holt and Kevin are from an older generation of gay men, they still carry on the act though sometimes they do kiss in front of others.
