This year (2025) marks the 40th anniversary of the introduction of the Homosexual Law Reform Act which decriminalised homosexual activity between consenting men. All of the written transcripts (Hansard) from the Parliamentary debates are now available here, with some of those same debates available as original audio recordings. A comprehensive timeline is available, along with images from some of the pro and anti-reform events can be viewed here.
The site also hosts an extensive rainbow timeline and links to over 18,000 articles published by GayNZ.com between 2001-2017. There are also pages dedicated to significant anniversaries, research and free datasets. And since 2020 we have been making the PrideNZ collection more accessible and discoverable by using various forms of Artificial Intelligence.
