Whangarei is the biggest urban area in the Northland region of New Zealand. Despite being the most populous, it is quite small compared to advanced metropolitan zones. Fewer than 55 thousand people live in the city and its vicinity.
It is the most liberal part of the region, but the local population is far from accepting and welcoming. It is not uncommon to encounter homophobia and hostile remarks. Open aggression is extremely rare, but even occasional instances of violence are a worrying trend. Living as openly gay in Whangarei may not be dangerous, but it is certainly boring.
Due to the lack of any organizations offering support or places to gather, the city has a barely visible LGBT scene with only a handful of notable events throughout the year. Safe spaces where gay men of Whangarei could gather are nonexistent outside some public facilities.
