Rainbow elders panel

The summary encapsulates an event titled "Rainbow Elders Panel (2018)" which took place during Wellington's Pride festival. Organized by InsideOUT, the panel hosted at 19 Tory Street on February 25, 2018, paid homage to the experiences and contributions of elders within the rainbow community. The panelists included prominent voices from the community - Amanduh la Whore, Colin Daley, Georgina Beyer, Kay Jones, Maggie Shippam, Mani Bruce Mitchell, Prue Hyman, and Rosie Leadbitter, who gathered to offer insights into the cultural landscape changes over the decades, from the 1950s through to the 2010s.

The recording reveals personal narratives that pivot around significant historical moments, encapsulating the panelists' roles in law reform, activism, and their shared mission for equality and understanding within the community. These stories ranged from coming out, navigating personal and professional spaces as a member of the rainbow community, to their participation in pivotal campaigns such as the homosexual law reform, which played a fundamental role in shaping the rights and societal acceptance of the rainbow community today.

Through their discussion, not only did the panelists reflect on the past but also engaged with contemporary concerns such as aging within the community. They shared insights on the evolving challenges related to health, inclusivity, and the need for structures that cater to the older members of the LGBTQ+ community. The panelists highlighted the importance of intergenerational relationships, recognition of contributions by elders, and the crucial need for continued activism, advocacy, and support networks.

Humorous anecdotes intermittently weave through the narrative, illustrating the intersectionality of the panelists' lives beyond their sexual identities. These ranged from interactions with notable figures such as the Queen and the Pope to personal experiences of growth and discovery within their communities.
