Dear Community,
As the new owners of multiple Queer spaces, we want to take a moment to share why our Pride Pledge matters-especially to us, and especially to the queer community this space exists to serve.
Queer nightlife has never been just about going out. For generations, clubs like this have been sanctuaries: places of safety, resistance, joy, and connection in a world that has too often denied queer people all four. They are where identities are explored, chosen families are built, and culture is created and preserved. We recognize that when we took on ownership of this club, we didn’t just take on a business-we accepted responsibility for a legacy.
Our Pride Pledge is our public commitment to honoring that legacy. It means centering queer voices in decision-making, protecting this space as affirming and inclusive, and actively standing against discrimination in all its forms. It means ensuring that this club remains a place where queer people-across identities, backgrounds, and generations-can feel seen, safe, and celebrated, not just during Pride, but every day of the year.
We also understand that trust is earned, not assumed. This pledge is not a marketing statement; it’s a promise we intend to uphold through our actions, our policies, and our accountability to the community. We invite you to hold us to it.
Thank you for welcoming us into a space that means so much to so many. We are committed to caring for it with the respect, love, and integrity it deserves.
With pride and gratitude,
All my love

Since being part of Manioro festival its been a true reflection on who I am -being surrounded by so many Brown advocates and trailblazers. So much exchange of knowledge and wisdom. I now know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Smashing through glass ceilings and continue carving out my career & when my people need me I will answer. Big mihi to @nevertheless_nz - @manioro_nz #maori #maoriart #queer #trans #dragqueen
