“My son came out as gay quite young and there was nothing available for him to connect with other peers. He didn't have anyone in his primary school that was openly gay or queer.”

She is now the programme facilitator of a new social group named Rainbow Rangatahi, which aims to support queer children aged 14 and under, based in Auckland's Gribblehirst community hub.

Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
