HELP Somebody!! There are still people who
desperately need someone to talk to today. A
Concert by Mr Gay Wellington! Well, the blurb from St Andrews does

of the most famous gay composers of the 20th century! Friday 19th March, 6.30pm - Recital: Tenor Michael Gray with Bruce Greenfield (piano) St Andrew's on the Terrace Church.

prelim events where only one dancer of the partnership is judged so new dancers
can dance with more experienced dancers. For more
information and/or to download the registration form which includes the list of
events and rules My name is Nicola Surtees. I am a lesbian and a lecturer at
the University of Canterbury. I am studying towards a Doctor of Philosophy
(Ph.D) at the University. My research project is investigating both how queer
youth imagine family and the intended and actual parenting of lesbians and gay
men who have teamed up to produce and raise children together. Previous
research in this area has focused on single households led by lesbian mothers
and to a lesser extent, those led by gay fathers. Studies exploring how
lesbians and gay men are working together to create and ‘do’ family in innovative ways are scarce. I think this project is timely
given legislation fails to recognize the family relationships of some lesbians
and gay men. Homophones burst into song Website: www.homophones-wellington.net E-mail: mail@homophones-wellington.net We

gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and other sexuality, sex and gender

areas, including mental
health, suicide, general health ratings, alcohol and other drug use. Health

researchers, academics,
policy makers, advocates, community members and others who are interested in improving
the mental, physical and emotional health and wellbeing of LGBTI people. It is
a unique

together and share
their knowledge, network, learn, and laugh. Contribute

Health in Difference uses “LGBTI” as a recognisable acronym to refer to a
diverse group of identities that includes but is not limited to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, trans/transgender and intersex people. We also use it as an invitation to
think across identity labels and consider sexuality, sex and gender diversity
in all their facets and communities. We call on queer people, queens, straight
people, sistergirls, brotherboys, fa’afafine, femmes, transsexuals, takatapui,
bois, bears, and toms, all those with an interest in sexual orientation, sex
and gender identity and how these relate to health and wellbeing to be part of
Health in Difference 2010 There
is now a 30 minute gay slot on Coast
Access Radio on the Kapiti Coast, at 104.9 FM. It
is run by Steve, and is on once a month, usually on the third Sunday afternoon at
3 pm, and repeated on Tuesday at 9 pm and Thursday at 5 pm.
