The capital s Pride Festival is not only a chance to celebrate the rainbow community but to inspire, says a Wellington musical comedian.
Queer performer Maxwell Apse, best known for the love song they wrote for Ashley Bloomfield over lockdown, will be performing in their first Wellington Pride Festival this month.
The 27-year-old musician identifies as bisexual, and came out as transgender and non-binary last year.
Having been personally inspired by the likes of Wellington drag king Hugo Grrrl, Apse said it was important for young people in the community to have proud queer performers to look up to.
