First openly gay All Black celebrates wedding

From Summer Times, 9:10 am today

Former All Black Campbell Johnstone took a brave step in 2023 when he decided to come out.

He became the first and currently only openly gay person to have worn the famous jersey, and he hasn't looked back since.

His story has inspired other sportspeople globally, and recently, he tied the knot with his fiancé Ben Thomson at an extravagant ceremony.

They both join Anna Thomas.
