Contaldo80

Welcome to my Talk-page.So, you want to know who I am? I'm male in my early forties and live and work in Wellington, New Zealand, where I am a public servant. I'm particularly interested in helping support coverage of gay-related issues on wikipedia. I've been called a "one-issue editor". It's true that I feel passionate about improving knowledge on how gay (and bisexual) men and women have made a contribution to history - small or big, good or bad. The issue of homosexuality in particular has often been hidden in the past - a lack of understanding, fear of persecution, religious intolerance. But it is there if one looks hard enough for it.
