Gender Minorities Aotearoa is the nationwide transgender organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is run by and for transgender people, including non-binary, intersex, and takataapui gender diverse people (indigenous genders).
GMA offers information, advocacy, and wrap around support for transgender people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
We operate within the kaupapa Maori public health framework Te Pae Mahutonga, and The Ottawa Charter (1986). Our focus is peer led health and well-being. We aim to facilitate health and well-being for transgender populations, as defined by The World Health Organisation – complete physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being.
The vision of Gender Minorities Aotearoa is for all transgender people to be empowered by a full range of choices across all aspects of their lives, and to be able to participate fully in society.
Naming New Zealand is an organisation to help transgender, gender diverse and intersex youth with updating their identity documents to correctly reflect their sex and gender.
We provide resources about the process of correcting identity documents within New Zealand, connect trans youth with organisations that can help, and assist with the costs of making these important changes.
Our mission is to help people find great LGBT+ community groups, businesses and more.
Gay Republic provides a beautiful and intuitive online platform that allows LGBT+ businesses and groups to showcase their brand so they can be discovered and connect with locals and visitors of our rainbow community.
We facilitate meaningful connections, events, and build safe spaces for our LGBTQIA+ community.
No matter how you identify yourself we are all under the same umbrella.

Rainbow New Zealand charitable trust
Since its founding, the Trust has donated over $300,000 to fund a broad range of LGBTQI+ organisations, individuals, projects and initiatives.
The Trust formally changed its name on 9 January, 2018, becoming the Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust. The new name adopts the now universally understood term 'Rainbow' as reflecting the LGBTQI+ communities, better communicates the national purpose of the Trust, and more closely aligns the Trust’s name with Rainbow Auckland (formerly GABA) and the many other Rainbow organisations in New Zealand.
The Objectives of the Trust:
The Objectives of the Trust:
The principal objective of the Trust is to actively fundraise and attract bequests and donations in order to maintain a fund available to promote the interests of the LGBTQI+ community in New Zealand. The Fund is available on application to individuals and institutions for the explicit purpose of supporting the development of activities in the education, health, welfare, cultural and support services for the benefit of the LGBTQI+ community of New Zealand.
The Trust’s aim is to donate money where it is most needed, and where it will have the greatest impact. Recipients include larger LGBTQI+ organisations that provide a broad range of services to the community, through to numerous lesser known, but equally vital, organisations and projects that sustain the wider LGBTQI+ communities.
The Rule Foundation was established through a trust deed in 2008 to enable the funds left from the estate of Peter Rule to be used to fund projects and activities to advance the health, wellbeing and visibility of the LGBTI community. You can learn more about Peter Rule here, and The Peter Rule Fund here.
The Rule Foundation is registered as a Charitable Trust under the Charities Act 2005. Annual returns of the Foundation’s activities are available from the Department of Internal Affairs’ Charities Services website under registration number CC39280.
Today, the Rule Foundation administers funds on behalf of others that align with the kaupapa for which the Foundation was established. Applicants can apply to The Peter Rule Fund – the original fund for which the Foundation was established, and newer funds such as the Rainbow Legacy Wellbeing Fund.
To date, The Peter Rule Fund has distributed over $410,000 to benefit the wellbeing and advancement of Aotearoa’s LGBTI communities.
The QUILTED BANANAS Radio Programme provides lively coverage of news, politics, activities, interviews and music for queer women & non-binary folk. It focuses on Wellington region activities, but also covers national and international news. As an acronym our name stands for: Queer, Intersectional, Intersex, Lesbian, Takataapui, Trans, Enby, Diverse ... Bisexual, Asexual, and Nanas (because a lot of us also identify as nanas). As a metaphor, QUILTED BANANAS is about celebrating all the slippery overlaps these communities can have.
QUILTED BANANAS started life as the Wellington Lesbian Community Radio Programme, airing under that name for more than 35 years until our revamp in 2019. We continue to receive funding from the Armstrong and Arthur Charitable Trust, which generously supports lesbian-interest activities in Wellington.
The programme is run by a collective of presenters and technicians and we always welcome new volunteers – if interested, email us at: QBananasradio@gmail.com
We value respect and we don’t do gender-policing.
QUILTED BANANAS airs 10-11am every Sunday.
The Lesbian Information, Library and Archives Centre in Wellington is for women-oriented women. It has the largest accessible collection of lesbian books and other materials in the country.
LILAC opened ion September 17th 1994 and has been open almost continuously since then ... apart from a period when we lacked premises.
Membership involves payment of an annual subscription - then all borrowing is free. Check the Membership page for more information
LILAC is a women-only space, although small children with their mums are okay.
LILAC is an entirely voluntary organisation. Any lesbian member is welcome to join the collective which keeps LILAC running. We welcome support with fund-raising - to pay running costs (our rent has gone up in our new premises), so that subscriptions can be used to keep the collections growing.
Oh ... and the name - we came up with the name LILAC way back in 1993 when we started planning the library. Then someone filled in the words for the acronym. Mostly LILAC is a library, though we do have a noticeboard and fliers for lesbian events, groups, etc.
See the big pages of What's on for lesbians and for the broader Rainbow communities in Wellington for information about what's on. Plus the links page for many more groups.
The Charlotte Museum Trust collects and preserves artifacts of lesbian culture such as labrys, music, theatre, film, literature, art and other memorabilia from early lesbian life in New Zealand / Aotearoa. Currently we have a collection of 800 lesbian cultural artifacts: Labrys (in bone, glass and silver), domestic ware, lesbian ceramics, 2100 lesbian books and many of the early magazines from both New Zealand and overseas.

Since 2015, Lesbian News Aotearoa has been the national online daughter of the Tāmaki Makaurau Lesbian Newsletter, which was published monthly in Auckland from September 1990.
We are sorry to say we have suspended publishing Lesbian News Aotearoa.
Our current group is too small, and does not have enough time or energy to continue.
A lot of lesbians have contributed over these 28 years: developing and sourcing ideas, writing stories, taking photographs, creating the monthly layout, proof reading, enveloping the print newsletter, processing subscriptions, updating group listings. A lot of cake has been eaten and coffee drunk each month. Readers have been very important – our reason for establishing and continuing publication – and have also directly contributed stories and ideas.
We are not disappearing. All the existing monthly updates remain accessible and searchable on the website. We will continue to maintain the Facebook page (facebook.com/tmlnnewzealand), and will check the email address every so often (LNAotearoa@gmail.com).
Thank you for being part of our community.

Rainbow Tick is a certification mark for organisations that complete a Diversity & Inclusion assessment process.
Rainbow Tick is about accepting and valuing people in the workplace, embracing the diversity of sexual and gender identities. A supportive work environment that is accepting of peoples’ differences benefits everybody in your organisation.

Tapatoru is a word from our Maori language in Aotearoa (New Zealand) that means 'Triangle'.The triangle has many different meanings for many communities and cultures. For us here in New Zealand, the triangle is a prominent symbol within our Maori culture. The triangle is also a shape that can be interpreted at many different levels and has many positive and strong aspects that we can relate to, that has inspired and motivated us to set ourselves up under the name Tapatoru.
Tapatoru is based in Wellington, which is the capital city of New Zealand. Historically, this vibrant and close-knit city has become home to many of our Maori trans people and today we celebrate a community who feel somewhat established and embraced by its city.
The trans community is filled with diversity at every degree and we have trans support groups locally and nationally who cater for some trans people throughout this diverse continuum. Tapatoru is aware that not everyone is comfortably supported which has prompted the launch of this group who affiliate and embrace their Maori trans whanau who are trans and living in Wellington.
On saying that, we understand that our Maori trans whanau have a different way of addressing that one component of their lives in comparison to other cultures. That is why Tapatoru will exist among the Maori trans community purely and not necessarily be seen specifically as a support group.
While our Maori trans whanau may face similar issues to our wider trans community - we are indeed a proud and active people who live within, along and beside our own whanau, hapu and iwi, as well as the wider continuum of the diverse communities within Wellington's L(esbian), G(ay), B(isexual), T(ransgender/transsexual), and I(ntersex) peoples.
Tapatoru is merely a vehicle of which to bring together our Maori trans whanau more frequently than what is currently happening and to circulate any information or communication that will benefit us. How this happens will depend on the interest and support as well as exercising those familiar values around family (whanaungatanga), support (manaakitanga), and unity (kotahitanga). So just as much as we will be working hard to provide opportunities for our Maori trans whanau, we also need our Maori trans whanau to respond and get involved too. It is definitely a two-way street. While time and money is precious, and to have us commit ourselves to our Maori trans whanau.....we therefore pledge that our Maori trans whanau respectively come forward and show the world just how we 'lead by example'.
Throughout this website we will now refer to our Maori trans people as 'whanau'. We will also exercise the concept of whangai in relation to trans people who are not Maori; who live in Wellington and who affiliate to Tapatoru's vision. This also includes people who support the work (mahi) for trans people via their community, agencies or individual studies towards education and research.
The challenge (wero) has been laid down.
Tapatoru would like to be a point of contact and dispersal of information for our whanau. We would also like to share and build our networks with friends, family and colleagues of whanau in the Wellington area as well as community groups and agencies who support and affiliate to the work of Tapatoru.
WHO ARE WE? My name is Karen and I was whangai’d to a Maori whanau in Otaki (Ngati Raukawa) at the age of 15 and my partner Peri is of Te Arawa, Tapuika descent. Together we span 60 years within the wider LGBTI community here in Wellington.
Over the years we have lost a lot of our whanau through ill health, unfortunate and avoidable circumstances. We wondered just how confident we are about our future as we age, or if one of us dies, who will look after the other. And we wanted something like Tapatoru to start a long process of bringing our whanau together to (a) strengthen our ties; (b) prepare us for those times when we lose whanau; (c) ensure we are informed with what is happening in our wider trans world as well as our country; (d) plan for our future as we age.
I guess two main areas that Tapatoru can certainly work on improving, is our concept of: the present and the future of Maori trans in Wellington.
The short term vision of Tapatoru is to encourage more opportunities to gather as a whanau and to celebrate unity, connectedness and work together to build our support networks within our community here in Wellington. Our focus is to enhance our present situation with supporting our trans whanau in ways that will encourage fun, action and build stronger relationships.
The long term dream (moemoea) of Tapatoru is to provide a place for our aging community. Whatever shape, form, size that will be - will only happen if we make a start now and develop it together as a whanau. While some of us may not enjoy the fruits of our work, we know that as a people, we have made a start to contribute to our generations to come.

Would be great to see lots of photos and catch up with old friends, acquaintances, lovers, partners, husbands, wives, whanau etc. Have fun Darren Graham

DANSS is a place for anyone, Dancing brings people togeather and most of all it brings love to what same enjoy about dancing Latin and Ballroom you dont need to be a pro just time to spend and meet new friends...
The History
DANSS was first established in 1998 after a group of Wellington dancers had attended the Gay Games in Amsterdam. Wellington dancer Heta Timu gathered a group of volunteer enthusiasts to share their skills and promote same sex dancing. A fundamental principle of DANSS was that entry was to be by Koha to make it available to all. From 2005 DANSS has been run by a committee and from 2008 an Incorporated Society was established to run competitions.
Hundreds of dancers have discovered the magic of dance during this time. Most just for enjoyment but many going on to dance competitively.
Since 1977, Vinegar Hill has been a popular camping spot for Gay and Lesbian people and their families over Christmas and the New Year holiday period in the height of summer. Much of the following information comes from personal knowledge of those who have attended the camp.
The first time gay men camped at Vinegar Hill was shortly after New Year in January 1977. This consisted of six men, among whom were Kevin and Pearl (Peter) and Owen, from the Manawatu and Hawkes Bay regions and Tom Fitzgerald from Silverstream Upper Hutt.
It grew from there, and by the early 1980s had developed a particular culture. The first queen was appointed in 1985, for the 1986 camp. This was Bill Armstrong, who was presented with the award by Mal Vaughan,
Initially, the idea of "Queen of Vinegar Hill" was based on a comedic idea of beauty queens, but this later developed into an idea of appointed royalty.
As a result, the initial names engraved on the trophy presented each year are the drag names of the people appointed to the role of queen.
