My point is that Māori have our own stories about sexuality that pre-date the arrival of Europeans and the arrival of the Bible and also those who interpret it, which has done considerable damage to the rainbow community, causing considerable harm. Colonisation reached into our cultural norms about what constituted both positive and negative relationships, and as we become more aware, we must also challenge those colonial heterosexual assumptions that have been normalised around us, and central to that is the assumption that if you aren't heterosexual, then there must be ways to fix you.
