I te waenganui o te 1980s, i tono te rōpū o ngā kaitōrangapū mo ngā tika o ngā tāngata tāne, nā Henk Krol i ārahi, i taua wā ko ia te kaiwhakahaere matua o te Gay Krant, i te Kāwanatanga kia whakaaetia ngā tokorua o te ira ōrite ki te marena. I whakatau te Pāremata i te tau 1995 ki te waihanga i tētahi kōmihana motuhake, hei tirotiro i te tūponotanga o ngā marenatanga o te ira ōrite. I taua wā, ko te Christian Democrats (Christian Democratic Appeal) ehara i te wāhanga o te kawanatanga whakahaere mo te wā tuatahi mai i te whakatūnga o te manapori. I mutu te mahi a te kōmihana motuhake i te tau 1997 me te whakatau kia whakawhānuihia te marenatanga ā-iwi ki te whakauru i ngā tokorua o te ira ōrite. I muri i te pōtitanga o te tau 1998, i oati te Kāwanatanga ki te whakatutuki i te take. I te marama o Hepetema 2000, i tautohetohehia te kaupapa ture whakamutunga i te Pāremata o te Rōpū.
