Fifty years of years of pride, protest and parades

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 11 October 2022

Fifty years of Aotearoa's Gay Liberation Movement is being celebrated with the Pride and Protest exhibition as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival. The country's first 'Gay Day' was in 1972, a protest by a newly formed Gay Liberation Group in Auckland’s Albert Park. Since then Pride has morphed into a month-long celebration that coincides with the international Pride movement

Sarah Buxton from the Charlotte Museum is the brains behind the exhibition which is on at Te Atatū Peninsula Community Hub until Sunday 16 October.
