I've never been to Wellington. I'm from Auckland! Where everything is much better than anywhere else in the country
Been to Christchurch though, lovely place.
Were you a pretty radical Catholic?
My uncle was into Opus Dei (one of the people who bought it to New Zealand), my dad is Catholic, mum is Protestant - bought up in a left wing Catholic family; coming out as gay was easy; I left Catholicism because I no longer believed in Jesus being the son of God etc. Nothing to do with Catholic Church being against homosexuality.
