Summary: Gays Asked To Support Labour (Press, 6 June 1987)
On 6 June 1987, approximately 40 homosexuals gathered in a nightclub in Auckland to discuss support for the Labour Party in the upcoming General Election. The meeting featured speakers including Mr Richard Northey, the Member of Parliament for Eden, Ms Jenny Kirk, the Birkenhead candidate, and Mr Chris Carter, the Albany candidate. Mrs Judy Keall, the Member of Parliament for Glenfield, sent her apologies for not being able to attend. During the event, attendees were urged to contribute financially to campaign funds, which would assist in electoral activities and encourage others to do the same. Mr Northey highlighted the importance of Labour's re-election for the future of the Homosexual Law Reform Act, indicating that its survival might hinge on the party's success in the election.
