Description

This scrapbook was compiled by members of MaGRA - Manawatu Gay Rights Association, (later MaLGRA - Manawatu Lesbian and Gay Rights Association) between 1978 and 1985.

Consisting primarily of clippings from New Zealand newspapers, it covers the subjects of Homosexual Law Reform efforts, the Aids epidemic and New Zealand gay and lesbian rights movements.

It also includes copies of letters between organisers Peter Pawson and Kevin Baston to both Fran Wilde (Member of Parliament who sponsored the Homosexual Law Reform Bill in 1985) and Rangitikei Member of Parliament Denis Marshall.

The cover features stickers from the Tom Robinson Band, a United Kingdom based rock band whose song "Glad to be Gay" became an iconic Pride anthem.
