Rainbow Story Time
Saturday 19 September @ 1:30 pm
A special storytime celebrating diverse families, identity,
and embracing who you are.
“A Drag Queen, or Drag King, is an entertainer who performs
in hyper-gendered or gender-non-conforming clothing, hair and
makeup. My principal motivation for being part of Rainbow Story
Time in libraries around the Wellington region is to give today’s
kids the kind of childhood I wished that I could have had. The
knowledge that some little boys like to wear dresses, and play
elastics, and play house. We seem to have made some progress with
little girls being allowed to play with construction sets and climb
trees, but there’s still a stigma about girly boys. Or indeed, little
people that are non-binary, that don’t (like myself) fit neatly into
the socially prescribed behaviours and attitudes that are matched
to the gender as assigned at birth.”-Queen Olivia

The Wairarapa Archive
Among the various characters from early Wairarapa history, few can have
been as charismatic and entertaining as the cross-dressing chemist,
Robert Gant.
London-born, the son of a surgeon, he came
to New Zealand in and worked as a chemists’
assistant in Wellington. While there he became
very involved with the theatrical scene, usually
playing female roles under his stage name,
Cecil Riverton.
His biggest success came when he played
in Gilbert and Sullivan light operas – he was
Buttercup in H.M.S. Pinafore, and Ruth in
Pirates of Penzance.
In 1882 he ventured up to Masterton, where
worked for T.G. Mason fort seven years, apart from a few months when
he opened his own business. He was also very heavily involved in two
passion. He continued his career on the stage and in musical circles, and
he developed his photography skills, taking many images of local theatrical
and sporting groups.
He returned to England for a visit in 1891, and when he came back opened a
business in Greytown. He continued with his photography hobby, branching
out into taking many images relating to executions. He also seemed to
have a fetish for shoes.
While in Greytown he met Charlie Haigh, and took many stunning
photographs of the young man. In 1899 Gant returned to live in Seatoun,
Wellington, although he returned to Greytown in 1905 and ran his shop
again. When he once again returned to Wellington in 1908, Haigh joined him,
working on the fabric counter at the D.I.C.. He was also very involved in
musical entertainments in the city.
Robert Gant died in Wellington in 1936. Charles Haigh died in 1941.
