Auckland mum sets up social group so younger queer children can 'be themselves'

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

Jessica Singh's ​son was 9 when he came out as gay. It was then Singh realised, there was a lack of support available for queer children.

“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.
