On Thursday 9th June a march will be held through Wellington city to help stop homophobia and transphobia on our streets.Queer the Night was inspired by the Reclaim the Night philosophy and initiated in response to a couple of recent incidents where members of the queer community were assaulted in central Wellington. To many, these were a shocking reminder that although we’ve come far, there are still dangers to those who are or are perceived as being outside heterosexual norms. To others, dealing with homophobia or transphobia on the streets is an everyday experience. Either way, it is unacceptable that any of us are made to fear physical or verbal abuse in our city.
