The Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill has arrived here today without the fanfare that accompanied the conversion practices bill. It is, however, no less significant. I offer a peppered whakapapa that got us to the point. It is by no means the full extent of organising in our communities, or even in this House. As with many of the issues facing people with diverse genders, sexualities, and sex characteristics, the discrimination against us can be easily traced back to colonisation and the way that early colonists and missionaries pathologised and criminalised us, and any person who did not fit their construct of a real man, a real woman, and people who should be in heterosexual, non-monogamous—no, monogamous!—relationships. Our people rejected and subverted it back then, and we've continued to do so ever since.
