Gay Christchurch · City Guide

First time in Christchurch? Then our gay Christchurch city guide is for you.

Christchurch, joka tunnetaan englantilaisperinnöstään, ei ole vain portti Uuden-Seelannin Eteläsaarelle, vaan myös kaupunki, jossa on kasvava LGBTQ+-yhteisö. Kaupunki tarjoaa ylimääräistä mutta vieraanvaraa homoelämän, joka erityisen paikallisiin baareihin ja järjestettäviin tapahtumiin, jotka tuovat yhteen paikalliset sekä vierailijat.
Yksi Christchurchin LGBTQ+-kalenterin koho-viikko-viikkoen Pride-tapahtumassa järjestetään erilaisia ​​​​tapahtumia aina juhlista ja elokuvailoista keskusteluihin ja kulttuuriesityksiin, jotka juhlivat monimuotoisuutta ja yhteisöllisyyttä. Jos Christchurchin versio on pienempi kuin Aucklandin Pride, sitä arvostetaan syvästi sen intiimin ja ystävällisen ilmapiirin vuoksi.
Kaupungin toipuminen vuosien 2010 ja 2011 maanjäristyksistä on nähnyt taiteen ja yöelämän elpymisen, ja LGBTQ+-yhteisöllä on merkittävä kulttuurin uudesti roolisyntymisessä. St Asaph Streetiä ympäröivästä alueesta, joka tunnetaan vilkkaasta kulinaarisesta ja yöelämästään, on tullut inklusiivisten ja ystävällisten tapahtumapaikkojen hotspot.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

Law was changed under the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 2021 which comes into effect on 15 June 2023. This will allow gender self-identification and mean that you will not need to go through the Family Court to change your nominated sex/gender, and you will not require evidence of medical treatment to do so either.

Legal recognition of sex reassignment by permitting a change of legal gender on an individual's birth certificate.

Law was changed to allow trans people to apply through the Family Court under section 28 of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationship Registration Act 1995. Currently through the Family Court, you are required to provide 'supporting evidence' of some form of medical treatment, which does not have to be surgery but may be.

Under section 21 of the Human Rights Act 1993, discrimination against "heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientations" is prohibited, with no other sexual orientations being protected.

Under the Human Rights Act 1993, there are a variety of specific exceptions from discrimination law relating to working in private areas (such as a person's home) and accessing special counselling services (such as counselling dealing with sexual abuse or family violence), among others.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

The Human Rights Act 1993 prohibits discrimination in relation to employment and religious grounds, affirmed by section 19 of the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990, which apply everywhere. However, protections only apply to those of heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientations, and currently gender identity is ambiguously regarded as being protected under the ground of sex. That has not been tested yet, and is prone to being interpreted otherwise.
