Synopsis

Soldiers, politicians, Olympians, doctors, musicians, academics, businesspeople, farmers, writers and fa'afafine . . . the thirty LGBTQIA+ New Zealanders in this book are remarkable individuals. They each speak with candour and honesty about their challenges and successes, and together they show how LGBTQIA+ people strengthen the rich culture of Aotearoa.
From the famous -- Grant Robertson, Gareth Farr, Chlöe Swarbrick -- to the less well known, these stories encourage empathy and understanding, challenge stereotypes, and offer courage and hope.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mark Beehre initially trained as a specialist physician and worked for several years in medical practice before studying photography at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland and Massey University in Wellington. He graduated with a BFA in 2004 and went on to complete an MFA in 2014. Mark's work sits at the intersection of documentary, portraiture and social history and is concerned with questions of identity, belonging and the lifelong quest for intimacy. His photographs have been exhibited in New Zealand and overseas. A Queer Existence is in many ways a sequel to his earlier book, Men Alone -- Men Together, which explored the lives and relationships of an older generation of gay men who grew up in the pre-Law Reform era.
