LGBT rights in New Zealand
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people have the same rights as other people in New Zealand. Throughout the late-20th century, the rights of the LGBT community received more awareness and male same-sex sexual activity was decriminalised in 1986, with an equal age of consent to heterosexual intercourse. Today, New Zealand has been recognized for providing one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world to its LGBT citizens. After recognizing civil unions since 2004, New Zealand legalised both same-sex marriage and adoption rights for same-sex couples in 2013. Discrimination regarding sexual orientation and gender identity and expression has been banned since 1993. Gays and lesbians have been allowed to openly serve in the military since 1993.
