Today we were incredibly proud to present our petition to ban conversion therapy, alongside New Zealand Young Labour, Rodney Area Rainbow LGBTQ & InsideOUT.
"That's my message to young me, lying in my bed questioning my sexuality, today we are here because you are valid. We've got a loving society here that accepts you and love you. I can tell you as someone who went through this seven years ago, it gets better." - Co-Convenor Max Tweedie, outside of Parliament this afternoon.
"These conversion therapies are the ultimate form of victim blaming. And they say to people that they can pray, or talk, or shock away the gay, the trans, the queer, the lesbian away. That is just wrong. We are here, we are queer and we are proud." Rainbow Greens Spokesperson - Jan Logie MP
