Tāmaki Makaurau Pride Festival kicks off

There are a mammoth 203 events planned in all corners of Tāmaki Makaurau for Auckland Pride month. 
With its largest programme ever, Auckland Pride have added over 150 events, showcasing the diversity and excitement of the city's rainbow communities to come together to celebrate and fight for progress.
Pride Festival director Max Tweedie said the festival was important for representation. 
He said that people had become complacent since same-sex marriage became legal in New Zealand in 2013.
"I think what is missing is the conversations around our transgender diverse community, our intersex community, but also our Māori Pasifika and migrant rainbow communities as well. Along with our disabled queer communities."
