Their explanation is way too weird. I think we can use occam's bisexual razor here:

I would bet that at least one of the hand holders is gay/bi and too afraid to say it... Which is fine. Sometimes it takes a bit of time (and handholding) to figure yourself out.

Physical contact between men being sexual is a cultural thing. Handholding is intimate, but not at all sexual... It's totally normal to do it with children for fucks sake

If you get past the cultural weirdness, it's just normal

Yes, it's a cultural thing. In our culture. Hence why I interpreted as such. If the whole thing had happened in the UAE that would be a different thing.

Culture gets hyper specific - individual groups can and do challenge cultural norms all the time, especially teens and young adults

Or someone's lying on the internet...
