For the first time, the New Zealand television audience also began to see acknowledged homosexual, lesbian and transgendered people in current affairs programs, calling for law-change and an end to discrimination. The first public demonstrations for equal rights marched up Queen Street.
It was the height of the disco era and the dance floor hustled with over people a night. It was also an illegal venue and its opening hours, until 5am in the morning, were a novelty for Auckland. Halls died of cancer in and Hudson committed suicide eighteen months later. The campaign for law change still continued and was extensively financially and organisationally backed by Tony Katavich and Brett Sheppard, the owners of Out!
It was an issue that divided the nation and the final knife-edge parliamentary vote on the bill was followed intently by the gay community. Risky sexual behaviours would be changed by public campaigns. The virus, however, still remains a threat. The first HERO Party was organised in to celebrate and reinforce the bonds of a community that had been severely battered.
The inaugural party was held in the Rail Shed on Beach Road.

The second party on Princes Wharf was attended by 3, people and artists like Mika performed in a series of spectacular shows which would become a HERO tradition. By , around , people would crowd the Ponsonby Road route to watch a spectacle which would be televised and promoted as a tourism feature of Auckland City. However, lack of civic support and financial issues meant that the original Hero organisation was forced to wind up in Following law-reform, the most notable trend was the fact that the queer communities gained many formal organisational structures and attributes.
It was time to come in from the cold.

Businesses grew, service groups were created, and social life began to reflect broader concerns. It had three distinct incarnations — first Fort Street, with its black sunken dance floor; then Albert Street, with its beige rag-rolled walls; and finally as a superclub on Karangahape Road. It was pub-culture made gay and, despite its critics, remains an essential and profitable part of present-day Auckland. Different niches within the gay community also started to grow their individual strengths.
For a small price men could guarantee a sexual encounter with another in safe and discreet surrounds. Meanwhile, the lesbian community was following its own individual trajectory. Auckland developed a thriving gay and lesbian media. The monthly Tamaki Makaurau Lesbian Newsletter was first published in , and a fortnightly gay newspaper, Man to Man , later renamed Express , was founded by Lateshift owner Jay Bennie in JACK magazine was a glossy feature magazine of the early 21 st Century, with original photographic features, high production values, and an acute awareness of gay culture and sensibility.
Auckland was also gaining broader cultural influences. The socio-sexual cultures of the Pacific Islands created a unique ambience in Auckland following the great migrations of Pacific Islanders to New Zealand in the s and 80s, and it was often manifested in particular suburbs. Many drag stars of the s, for instance, received their first public exposure in the Miss South Auckland Drag Competition in Papatoetoe. Winners, including the late Bambi Slut, went on to establish a large audience in inner city clubs.
The Gay Auckland Business Association held regular social meetings and raised funds to support other gay, lesbian and transgendered organisations through an annual auction. Whole teams of gay, lesbian and transgendered sportspeople travelled to international events, like the Sydney Gay Games. The Pride Centre, and then Rainbow Youth, opened offices on Karangahape Road, which had become the cultural centre of Auckland gay life. These communities were they also coming to terms with the fact that they were no longer a reviled minority and realised that, if they wished to keep an identity that had been created through legal and social oppression over the course of two centuries, they needed to work to maintain their unique culture and to remember its long history.
Could a community whose attitudes were created in opposition against a prevailing and dominant homophobia, survive in a world where gay weddings are not an aberrant spectacle but a socially-accepted feature of human relations? Is queer culture relevant in a world where sexual customs are tending towards a homogenised melting-pot?
What happens to sexual minorities when there is no longer an oppressive majority? If there is no homophobia, is there a queer community? Nice work. Thank you so much -- it's great to add another warp to the fabric of my understanding of our fine, fringe-of-the-known-world city, and to celebrate some of the people who sacrificed a hell of a lot to help others.

Lovely chap, just not my type. For those interested, the Charlotte Museum website is at www. Thanks from me too, David. I helped support a man with AIDS during the 80's and he used to talk of 'the old days' when he sometimes performed in drag. I was living in Auckland at the same time, though I didn't know him. But I was aware of the culture. Your story illuminates so much of what the city was back then.
And what it was in the 80's, when my son was part of the scene. They were fun days, yes, but tense. Many many funerals, though not, thank goodness of my son. I remember going to the hospital with my friend for him to take part in a trial of some sort, to do with HIV. It involved having an infusion and there was him and another man taking part. At one time my friend left the cubicle for some reason and the other man spoke angrily to me. He talked of how gay men came from all sorts of places, not just the educated career people, the 'nice' people, but from the gutter as well.
I can hear him now, with a rough Scottish accent. I was taken aback at the violence of his speech, but it was something that needed to be said.
