Also that they didn't need to make a decision until they were ready to, that it would become clear to them in time. Again, I hope I was a safe person who they could confide in and always get a positive response. I still get a few of these but a lot less so there must be another good site out there somewhere that answers these questions now.

I'd like to think people have less problems now but I doubt that! The more recent questions have been mostly sexual health related issues. I've had a lot of surprising questions including about fetishes, how soon new born babies could go on planes, the cost of adult circumcision etc It has certainly left me feeling very positive about young people. The future is in good hands! I would recommend Just the Facts which is a great website for information about sexual health.

It is backed by the Ministry of Health so you can trust that the information is correct. It also covers relationships, sexual abuse and sexual assault and where you can go for help. Rainbow Youth also have a good website for queer and gender diverse young people.

  • Having lived in both Auckland and Wellington in the last few years, I'm often asked which city is more conducive to the most open, supportive, and fun gay life. The capital is a liberal bubble of public servants and university students. It's unlike most cities with cross-sections of people from all ends of the political spectrum — in Wellington, social conservatism, homophobia, and other kinds of bigotry don't really fly.

    This isn't to say that Auckland is an alt-right haven of anti-gay sentiment, but there are parts of the city where I'd fear somewhat for my safety I count verbal abuse and even judgmental looks as harmful; not all homophobic aggression has to be physical if I were to hold hands with another man. With the exception of a select couple of central city suburbs, I don't feel terribly confident being an openly gay person in Auckland. However in Wellington — no matter the suburb — I feel completely confident holding hands with my husband, day or night, everywhere I go.

    It seems like a small thing in terms of quality of life for straight people, but for us, it's one of the cornerstones of how accepted we feel by society. If you're single in Wellington, though, you'll have a tougher time than in Auckland.

    LGBT in New Zealand

    It's purely because of numbers: the gay community in the capital is mostly made up of university students under the age of 22, or those who have been coupled-up for almost a decade. There are certainly very few single young professional types on the gay scene.

    While Auckland doesn't exactly have a plethora of dating options, the city's sheer population allows for many more opportunities. Whether you prefer app-dating on the likes of Tinder or Grindr or making connections with people at various central city hotspots, it's not too difficult to meet other LGBT people that might be your "type".

    I'd rate the nightlife scene for gay people in both Auckland and Wellington as "acceptable", yet neither city is really a party town for LGBTs. You can eat, drink, and be as colourful and fabulous as you want and nobody really bats an eyelid. The same goes for Ponsonby Road in Auckland, except the vibe is more upmarket.

    The bars are fancier, the clientele has more money, and while it can feel a little more intimidating, I feel that's simply the Auckland scene in general. Auckland has the added bonus of K'Road, the red light district — with its bars, clubs, sex shops and other venues, and more for people of all sexualities. Family, the most famous gay bar, is fun in a trashy but good-trashy way. If you're going out on a Saturday night in the city, it's likely where you'll end up in the end.
