Queer & Far, the brainchild of OUSA queer support co-ordinator Hahna Briggs, has been launched to help international students to be more confident in group situations. For students from countries where there was a lack of support for those exploring sexuality or gender identity, visiting the queer support co-ordinator was "a big step'', she said. Queer & Far would provide social support and advocacy for students, as well as being a forum for discussing LGBTQ issues around the world. Ms Briggs said the OUSA queer support office was working to establish a Q2 Trust to plan more Pride events in Dunedin.
