concept that might be common in other countries but, from a New Zealand point of view, is lesser evolved. We in this country have debated the language concerning our community so vividly and strongly that to be reverted to an international consensus on the term, which will be seen by most in this country as a big step backwards and an unravelling of how we have evolved our self-identification in this country, is a painful imposition.

A third objectionable thing: 'It is generally accepted that in pre-European New Zealand, same-sex relationships among Māori were not characterised by the same disdain as they were in other societies, although this viewpoint is disputed by some today'. If something is disputed, wouldn't it be fair to

I am not sure that I could contribute to that with too much insight. However, I think that we should revert the article to LGBT New Zealand as 1/ it is not an article restricted to homosexuality, 2/ the article is written in a manner presenting a New Zealand viewpoint to the world and the title

Consistency is a good thing but there should have been the opportunity to talk on this issue. Besides, the article isn't just on homosexuality, but rather bisexuality and transexuality as well, and transexuals can be homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual. Homosexuality in New Zealand reflects a

I don't know that the inclusion of the Boy Band member warrants a mention in Notable LGBT New Zealanders. Sure, Rob Arnold was the gay Boy Band member, but there are far more notable members and far more worthy LGBT relevant events, organisations and media-covered groups that have been formed

It has occurred to me that virtually no gay people use 'gay' as a noun, as in the title of this page. Perhaps a more appropriate name might be 'Gay and lesbian New Zealand'? 'LBGT New Zealand' would work as well, although to me LGBT and its variations always sounds more like a sandwich than a

then nzdating.com and nzpersonals.com have much higher ranking which may indicate that LGBT use these general sites more than LGBT-specific ones. gaynz.com has some non-personals content ( can't see anything at gay.co.nz unless I signup so I assume there it's 100% personals??) so it might be

The article reads, 'Sex between men was only decriminalised in 1986, and like all countries, there is always the issue of homophobia with which to contend.' I think the second half of this sentence should be rewritten; the tone is too informal. Another thing I don't like is this: 'Due to New

I've corrected some of the spelling and punctuation, and removed a bit of the supposition. A few more references might help, and I see too that there are cases of repetition, but otherwise this is a good little article.

should reflect that, 3/ there is need for a uniform 'homosexuality in A, B, C' approach for all similar articles, and 4/ 'homosexuality in New Zealand' would be well served by a completely different article.

I added a photo of my friends' civil union as I felt the page needed some kind of illustration. It could probably use some more - someone must have Hero Parade pics on their computers? --

Hmmm... someone has renamed this 'Homosexuality in New Zealand'. Any idea why? Should it be changed back? Personally I think the current title makes it sound like a medical problem. --

Zealand's relatively small population, the LGBT community is small...' This seems like something that is just a little too obvious to be stated; besides, 'small' is a relative term.
