Lyric speaks to Shaneel Lal, the co-founder of End Conversion Therapy NZ, about a protest which took place on Saturday night, which saw hundreds flock to G.A.Y and Family Bar on Karangahape Road to fight for inclusivity and safe spaces. They discuss the need to centre trans rights, the difficulty of maintaining LGBTQI+ focussed spaces and Aotearoa's long history with homophobia.
