Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi – with your basket and my basket the people will thrive.

We’re on a mission to create a future where discrimination is a thing of the past and where everyone enjoys equal rights under the law. By organising LGBTQIA+ Pride events, we’re creating a platform to showcase our vibrant and diverse communities, educate, inspire, commemorate and celebrate all the amazing things that make us who we are.
