Anti-LGBTQ+ Christians stop traffic & destroy rainbow crosswalk
A church group in New Zealand made a big show of stopping traffic on a major thoroughfare on Monday and painting over a rainbow crosswalk after the city refused to bow to their threats and cancel a drag event.
Pastor for the evangelical Destiny Church, Brian Tamaki, issued an ultimatum to the mayor of Gisborne warning her to cancel a planned drag storytime at the local library by 5 p.m.
When she refused, church members stopped traffic behind signs and used rollers to paint over the rainbow crosswalk in white.
Church members clad in black held signs equating drag with pornography and demanding “drags stop sexualizing our children!”
Tamaki has been “on tour” in New Zealand over several months, moving “town by town and city by city” through the island nation, spreading a message of hate in a campaign to “Make NZ, NZ Again!”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
