Aotearoa’s biggest Pride Festival kicks off today. 

Auckland Pride runs for the next four weeks as a city-wide celebration of the rainbow community. 

This year’s celebrations come amid a mixed outlook for the global queer community, with progressive moves being met with growing backlash and outrage. 

Auckland Pride director Max Tweedie, who is standing down after four years leading the festival, in 2022s last year to discuss a spike in homophobic incidents in New Zealand. 

He joins Damien again today to discuss both the positive celebrations and growing concerns facing the rainbow community here and around the world.
