Summary: Gay Group Remembers (Press, 24 April 1982)
On 24 April 1982, the Wellington Gay Task Force received approval from the Returned Services' Association to lay a wreath at the Wellington citizens' war memorial on Anzac Day. The association, while granting permission, requested that the wreath and the corresponding remembrance align with the solemnity of the ceremony. The task force intends to honour the memory of the thousands of homosexuals who faced persecution and were ultimately killed in Nazi concentration camps. This initiative, as expressed by spokesman Mr Nigel Pearson, aims to highlight and respect the historical suffering of these individuals within the context of the commemoration.
