The 2023 Wellington Pride Festival was made more emotional with the passing of community icon Georgina Beyer. The first public mention of Georgina's failing health was mentioned during Pride's opening hīkoi on Saturday 4 March. She passed away on Monday 6 March 2023. Shortly after, we started recording short interviews during Pride events with close friends and community members in honour of Georgina.
