New book details the lives of young gay men in New Zealand

Mark Beehre has spent a decade working on his latest book - a collection of photos and stories of 27 young, gay men born after the passage of the Homosexual Law Reform Bill. He started the project while doing a Masters of Fine Arts, taking photographs and interviewing the men over a number a years. The result is A Queer Existence - The Lives of young gay men in Aotearoa New Zealand. The men may have been born into more accepting times than the generations before them, but many still describe the difficulties in coming out and feeling stigmatised.
