Penny Marie published a revealing exposé of Lil Gay Out, an annual event put on at an Auckland secondary school, which resulted, days after, in its cancellation.
The school sited’ health and safety concerns’ due to a ‘possible protest’ as their reason for cancelling the event.
The New Zealand Herald then published an article quoting the schools reasons for cancelling, however no evidence has been seen on a possible protest threat.
Penny Marie was invited onto The Platform for an in-depth discussion into this and the much bigger situation.
Thank you to The Platform for deciding to publish the entire hour-longer conversation, including a father who called in to share his heart-wrenching story.
Perhaps this is a watershed conversation, that will invite more people who have been silenced, to speak up. For our children’s sakes.
