Paul Brennan speaks with Marg Curnow of LAVA (Lesbian Action for Visibility in Aotearoa) about their ongoing case against Wellington Pride at the Human Rights Review Tribunal. The dispute stems from LAVA’s exclusion from the 2021 “Out in the City” fair over their views on sex and gender, which Pride deemed transphobic. Curnow details the legal complexities, including mediation efforts, expert testimony, and what’s at stake—not just for LAVA, but for the broader conversation about political opinion, free speech, and women’s rights in New Zealand. The hearing, still ongoing, continues in September and is open to the public.
