The Rainbow community is full of pride this month.
April marks half-a-century since our very first 'Gay Day' in Auckland.
It all started with a student forum in 1972.
On Monday pioneering queer elders of the Gay Liberation movement took part in a panel to reflect on the milestones since that meeting.
Including activist and academic Dr Ngahuia Te Awekotuku and New Zealand's the first openly gay MP Chris Carter.
They spoke to Corin Dann.
