About the event

Celebrating Queer Activism

As the 40th anniversary of Homosexual Law Reform approaches, we look back at the decade of change that led up to this landmark legislation.
Activists of Aotearoa led massive social change in that decade. We celebrate the dedication of our queer whānau who kicked down the doors of oppression to prop them open for future generations. Queer activists were instrumental in supporting pivotal moments of social change, such as anti-Springbok tour protests, Māori Land Rights, and Peace and Anti-nuclear movements.
