Crimes Act 1961, ss 127–144
Relationships and sexual activity between people of any sexual orientation or gender are legal in New Zealand, and the same age of consent (16) applies to everyone.
This covers people of all genders – for example non-binary people, gender-fluid people, intersex people, transgender people, fa’afafine, whakawahine, tangata ira tāne, and cisgender men and women.
It also covers all sexual orientations – for example bisexual, lesbian, queer, gay, pansexual, takatāpui and heterosexual.
Those are only a handful of the diverse genders and sexualities in Aotearoa.
