Join this community celebration in the historic Banquet Hall at Parliament as we come together to celebrate 40 years since the passing of the Homosexual Law Reform Act — a landmark moment that helped transform Aotearoa New Zealand into a more inclusive and just society. The programme will feature speeches from past and present activists, sharing reflections on the movement, the challenges faced, and the progress achieved over four decades. Guests will also enjoy performances from talented members of the community, bringing music, storytelling, and creative expression to the celebration. More info on the facebook event page.

Leonie's email list
This is a service for distributing your notices to the lesbian community. To join the list, email leonies.email.list@lesbian.net.nz. If you were once on the email list but have not received any messages for a long while you may need to rejoin - email Leonie.
Once you are on the list, you can send email notices to the same address for distribution. Any notice that will help or inform us as lesbians is sent out.
- When sending in a notice please include any relevant contact info in the content of the message or at the end - your email address in your message's header will be stripped out before the notice is distributed.
- Political notices and attachments are not sent out.
- And please keep your message simple - strip out earlier email messages to save Leonie having to do it!
Armstrong & Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians
The Armstrong and Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians was established in 2001 by the late Bea Arthur for the benefit of lesbian community groups in the Wellington region. The Trust is named to recognise and remember the 57 year relationship of Bea and her partner the late Bette Armstrong. The Trustees invite applications for funding assistance, as grants, for projects and activities that will benefit all or part of the lesbian communities in the Wellington region. Visit the Trust website www.armstrong-arthur-trust.nz for information about how to apply for grants, and how to donate or make bequests to the Trust.
Application forms and guidelines are available from the Trust's website.
