    A gay MP is promising more political support for people in the community

    A gay MP is promising more political support for people in the community


    Among those at the Big Gay Out festival in Auckland today was Finance Minister Grant Robertson.

    Mr Robertson says it's crucial to have gay representation in politics.

    He says a decade ago, it would've been odd to see a gay finance minister and a large number of rainbow MPs.

    Mr Robertson says there are gaps in terms of the services provided to trans people, and more policies will be announced during the year.
