Rainbow Issues 2025 survey

 

This Pride is about all of us standing up for the rights of the rainbow community - tātou katoa.

Labour will always stand with our rainbow whānau as we have done with the Homosexual Law Reform, passing same-sex marriage, banning gay and gender conversion therapy, making it easier for transgender people to identify as who they on their official documents, and so much more!

But the National Government's actions threaten to roll back many of our rights. Their actions could restrict access to puberty blockers as gender affirming care, further limit participation of transgender people in community sports, risk the closure of mental health support services for young rainbow people, and remove adequate relationship and sexuality guidelines from schools.

There is a lot of work to do and I want to hear what’s most important to you so I can best serve you.

— Shanan Halbert, Labour Spokesperson for Rainbow Issues.
