"Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki is facing a potential defamation lawsuit by Taranaki drag queen duo Erika and CoCo Flash.  

The pair say false information has been spread about their Rainbow Storytime events.  

Tamaki has been trying to shut them down, posting on social media that the shows are "sexualising our children" and that libraries are not an appropriate venue.  

The drag queens - Daniel Lockett and Sunita Torrance - are now planning legal action.  

"The main point is to stop what is happening, you know? This is a job for us, this is business for us," Lockett, known as Erika Flash, told Newshub.  

The duo held their Rainbow Storytime event on Tuesday at Gisborne's library, despite Destiny Church supporters painting over the city's rainbow crossing the night before in opposition to the event. 

As the queens performed the next day, a protest unfolded outside, with some holding signs saying, "leave our kids alone", even though the event was restricted to people aged 16 and older. 

"We're just figuring out how we're going to go about it. But we just know that we are going to take some sort of action," Torrance, known as CoCo Flash, told Newshub.  

The pair have already fundraised more than $4000 towards legal fees.  

"He's very experienced and one of the top lawyers for defamation around," Torrance said of their lawyer, who they chose not to name. "He's going to give us the best course of action."

"The raising of a rainbow flag on a Norfolk Pine tree outside Destiny Church at Wiri in South Auckland this morning has led to an alleged assault being investigated by the police.
Police said initial inquiries suggest there was an altercation between a man and two occupants of a Druces Rd property at 4.20am after a man was observed hanging in a tree outside the property.
On X (formerly Twitter) this morning, a South Auckland man and competitive tree climber, Zane Wedding, said a pride flag was raised on public property outside Destiny Church.
“This was done not to hate Destiny but so our Rainbow community knows they deserve to feel safe everywhere!! Unfortunately, Destiny were waiting at the bottom of the tree and assaulted me,” he alleged."

Oh, if only! I'm sure there'd be no shortage of volunteers, & wouldn't it be an interesting twist if all the people painting the rainbow crossings were dear sweet little old ladies...not unlike some posters on here.
