‘BIG GAY RABOW’ SPEECH BY NEW ZEALAND MP MRICE WILLIAMSON GO VIRAL

And the liv we ed' State Apology to Gay Men Convicted Unr Unjt Laws - 2016. “Police Blz Catch Homosexuals”, the headle said a police officer: “…we jt seem to fd homosexuals loerg wherever we go. A earlier, 1967, a lol paper said that a dozen men would soon face urt for – quote – “morals offenc”, and urged the public to report homosexuals to the police wh a mimum of lay.

‘Loerg for homosexual purpos. A wns said: “Young policemen were sent…to…entrap spected homosexuals. ”“When the policeman was satisfied the person was homosexual, an arrt was ma.

”When we began this procs, Speaker, I expected to be offerg an apology to people persecuted for homosexual has bee clear to me that the State also persecuted agast homosexual thought. Loerg for homosexual purpos is a thought one summer 1976, one lotn alone, one hundred men were targeted unr this vlatn of thought; somethg for which there was no possible our lifetim, our people. ”That’s the sort of qutn which, some form or another, mt have been asked by almost every sgle LGBTI is still asked today – by teenagers the schoolyard; by adults the fay, the law was unjt, but is wrong to thk s only victims were those who faced s fact is: the laws st a dark and paralysg pall over everyone who ever felt like they were fact is: the laws reprented nothg ls than official, state-sanctned we wonr why, Speaker – we wonr why gay and lbian and bi and trans teenagers are still the target of a red, hot wonr why hundreds of thoands of Atralians are still formally exclud om somethg as basic and cent as a formal celebratn of we wonr why so many people are still forced to drape their liv that eply personal ndn, scribed by Peter McEwan as “the feelg of not beg good enough.

Expungement is one thg, but the victims won’t fd their salvatn this are each owed all four of the men I met told me they only began to fd that hope when they met people who were jt like McEwan – back the untry, and emergg om years of shame – started meetg weekly wh some gay iends at universy 1972. “We learnt to say ‘black is betiful, women are strong – and gay is good. ” “Gay men had taken on board the shame.

Tomorrow, a trans woman will be turned away om a job tomorrow, a gay teenager will thk about endg his own ’s the is so much more we need to do to make thgs then, we n’t promise thgs will be n’t guarantee that everyone your life will rpect the way you want to live we n’t expect you to make what mt be a terrifyg plunge until you know the time is jt know that whenever that time , you have a Government that’s on your have a Government that is tryg to make the state a safer place – the classroom, the have a Government that is tryg to eradite a culture of bullyg and harassment so that the next generatn of children are never old enough to experience have a Government that se the disputable statistics – of LGBTI self-harm, of suici – and ms to their plete have a Government that believ you’re ee to be who you are, and to marry the person you you have a Government that knows jt one life saved is worth all the effort.

Speaker, ’s been a life of stggle for generatns of reprentativ, we take full crimalised homosexual thoughts and eds. We validated homophobic words and we set the tone for a society that thlsly punished the different – wh a short sentence prison, and a life sentence of now on, that shame is Parliament and this Government are to be formally held to acunt for signg a culture of darkns and those who faced s sanctn, and lived fear, are to be formally regnised for their relentls pursu of eedom and all started here.
