Sexual Re-Orientation, a dance party organised by Massey University's UniQ group for next month, aims to be one of Wellington's biggest gay parties of 2008.

"We felt the capital really needed something naughty to bring everyone through the coldest month of the year," says UniQ's Quinton Hiini, who posed for the provocative event poster.

The evening will be hosted by local gay icon and TV personality Big, Bold and Beautiful, and will feature Wellington's camp drag troupe The Glamazons. A few of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation's Safe Sex Poster Boys will also make an appearance.

"This is all about expressing who we are through our sexual orientation," Hiini explains. "It's also about fun and frivolity!

"We have lots of naughty little surprises that we probably shouldn't mention yet. You'll just have to come along and see for yourself!"

Sexual Re-Orientation is open to both queer and straight students, as well as members of the wider queer community and will be held at SubNine on Saturday 19 July from 11pm.
