Hastings District Council cancels Drag Storytime event due to safety concerns.

The Hastings District Council has cancelled a Drag Storytime event at the Hastings Library amid safety concerns and misinformation, making it the second council in NZ to do so. The cancellations follow threats from Destiny Church Pastor Brian Tamaki, who vowed to shut down similar events nationwide, claiming they sexualise children. This comes after a rainbow crossing in Gisborne was vandalised with white paint by members of the Destiny Church.
