I marched with all the rest and when we came to the Salvation Army Citadel they yelled out abuse at us and I've never forgotten it. Then I walked with my granddaughter in the marriage equality issue in Wellington and it was like a walk in the park. Lovely. People on footpaths were smiling at us - what a difference.

Lovely - brilliant

Sorry to be so late replying - just to say that although lesbians did not have the legal discrimination that gay men did, a lot of us were treated very badly by police and employers ( if employers found out) and many were threatened, beaten up, and generally given a bad time.
