Georgina Beyer, a trailblazing New Zealand politician who in 1999 became the world's first openly transgender member of Parliament, died Monday at the age of 65.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand --
New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said he didn't know Beyer well personally but knew she had a large following within New Zealand and had made a lasting impression on the nation's parliament. “Georgie was surrounded by her nearest and dearest 24/7 over the past week, she accepted what was happening, was cracking jokes and had a twinkle in her eye, right until the final moment,” they wrote.“Farewell Georgie, your love, compassion and all that you have done for the rainbow and many other communities will live on for ever,” they wrote.
