Identity, understanding, and celebration through the stories of thirty remarkable New Zealanders. Soldiers, politicians, Olympians, doctors, musicians, academics, businesspeople, farmers, writers, and fa'afafine... the thirty LGBTQIA+ New Zealanders in this book are remarkable individuals. They each speak with candour and honesty about their challenges and successes, and together they show how LGBTQIA+ people strengthen the rich culture of Aotearoa. From the famous--Grant Robertson, Gareth Farr, Chlöe Swarbrick--to the less well known, these stories encourage empathy and understanding, challenge stereotypes, and offer courage and hope.
