Queer Elders lending an ear to our rainbow community

From Nights, 10:30 pm on 13 February 2025

February is New Zealand pride month and a group of 'queer elders' are offering a listening ear for any young members of the rainbow community who want to chat.

Luca Bree has counted himself a member of the LGBTQIA+ community for decades – but only came out as a transgender man in his late sixties.

Now in his seventies, Luca is one of the queer elders sharing his wisdom at events across Auckland this month.

Luca speaks to Mark Leishman.
