Support GayNZ.com

This page is your guide to supporting GayNZ.com, whether through a donation, feedback, or simply sharing your voice. We're here for Aotearoa New Zealand's queer community, and we can't do it without you.

We also want to acknowledge the awesome mahi already being done by others in this space. Including Your Ex (formerly Express Magazine), Bad Apple, Gay Republic, and many more. We're not here to compete or step on any toes. Instead, we're focused on finding our own voice: one that uplifts local events and spaces (past and present) in a way that complements the wider queer media landscape.
