(New Zealand) - Women interested in setting up a lesbian-only rest home in Wellington will hold meetings in the city next month to gauge support. The idea comes from Arafelle Oné, who founded a lesbian community in the Far North more than 25 years ago. She still lives there. "Many of us . . . have dreamed about . . . living together in an old dykes home later in life," Ms Oné told Gaynz.com. "Well, life is getting later very rapidly now and where are the old dykes homes?" The 62-year-old wants to establish the lesbian-only rest homes as her partner of 15 years enters the final stages of dementia, forcing the couple to live hundreds of kilometres apart.
