What does your identity mean to you?
It’s not the most important part of who I am but it is also integral to my experience and the way I think and relate to others. Growing up gay in small town New Zealand, at a time when male gay sex was still illegal there, wasn’t always easy, but it also made me the strong, confident person I am today. I feel a strong connection to my queer community and value our differing but shared experiences and perspectives.
