THEY are calling it “the Trump effect” vs LGBTQ, but in reality Brian Tamaki, leader of the Destiny Church in Auckland was campaigning for years against the attempts of gender-confused people to groom children into their lifestyle through library readings and similar events.
Tamaki also runs a movement associated with his church called Man Up, whose motto is “Raising Fathers, to Save our Children.” Man Up was founded in 2015 by Caine and Jamie Warren, elders of Destiny Church and aims to empower men to overcome struggles they may face in life. “We strengthen men to become better fathers, husbands and leaders in their home and community.”
When Auckland’s LGBTQ movement pushed Pride Month events on to the public, with the support of the so-called “right leaning” Auckland City Council, Tamaki and his crew decided to get a bit militant and confront the pride parade in the street. Police rushed in to separate the two groups.
Meanwhile another Man Up group from West Auckland crashed a Pride Month reading at a council library allegedly “with a focus on science”. “Our West Auckland team are outside the council library in Te Atatū today protesting yet another drag king who is attempting to seduce more kids into their queer lifestyle through their storytime events,” Tamaki said.
He said some 20 million people had shared the video via the website of Canadian anti-trans campaigner Billboard. “The beginning of our revolutionary War on Woke,” he said, adding that 95% of those who have so far viewed Destiny Churches stand against the rainbow/trans/drag scourge agreed with him.
The library reading featured a degenerate R18 “adult entertainer” Drag King Hugo, a self-described “slut and stripper” who apparently was putting on a “kiddie friendly” event at the library. The performer received a $1.2 million grant from NZ On Air.
Tamaki has correctly perceived that the LGBTQ movement is a cultural Marxist attack on the family and Christian values in general, and pledged himself and his movement to fight it, militantly if necessary.
Regardless of this, the LGBTQ movement has conned its way into the minds of Kiwi politicians and media people indoctrinated in New Left ideology at schools and universities. However, up to 80% of Kiwis are said to have opposed gay marriage, which was legalised by the former National Party PM John Key in 2013.
