Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Human Rights Commission of New Zealand noted that, in New Zealand, criminal sanctions for same-sex behaviour between consenting adults had been removed 31 years ago, with the enactment of the Homosexual Law Reform Act 1986. Nor is gender diversity criminalized, as New Zealand does not have so-called “cross dressing” laws that criminalize gender expression.
