Let The Story be Told
Rainbow Storytime are suing Brian Tamaki and members of Destiny Church.
Taranaki
Brian Tamaki and members of Destiny Church are being sued in the Auckland High Court by Haus of Flash Ltd, Daniel Lockett & Sunita Torrance. The performers behind Rainbow Storytime, drag queen's, Coco and Erika Flash.
Daniel and Sunita need your financial support to help towards the legal costs associated with the case. Because it’s not right that people can spread disgusting lies and threaten harm to individuals and members of the rainbow community and their allies — especially for doing something as simple as dressing up, reading stories and promoting acceptance for all people.
The claim will be filed in the High Court in Auckland on Thursday, June 27 at 11.00am.
Sunita and Daniel have over 20 years’ experience as entertainers, actors, event organisers and educators. Both are police vetted and certified just like anyone else who works with children and young people. And they hold qualifications in educating and entertaining younger children, teens and adults. They have seen their business and personal lives massively disrupted by the views of Brian Tamaki and members of Destiny Church.
Please, if you are able, donate now to our campaign. Because there is no place in Aotearoa New Zealand for bigoted views.
Let’s stand together for a happier, kinder, and more wonderful future.

Kia Ora everyone,
We are STILL fighting the good fight and things are starting to ramp up. We are in the Discovery phase for the court case where we have had to give up all of our privacy and hand over all of our accounts and data and devices to the lawyers to sift through to obtain any evidence for the case.
This has meant HOURS of work for our legal time going through absolute masses of data so our bills are super high.
We have created a new GAL page to be able to help with the legal costs so we would appreciate you help with getting it out there and publicising so we can hopefully raise the funds needed for our amazing team.
We are also looking for any large funders who may want to help us out as we feel the financial strain of this battle and the fact we are basically gagged from conducting the main parts of our business and so income is tight for us to feed into this legal fight.
The new page link is https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/drag-queens-vs-brain-tamaki
We appreciate you so much, please keep our story and case out there in the public eye so we can keep the traction!
Sunita & Daniel
