The drag collective has accused Tamaki and other church members of making defamatory statements, including that their library events were “grooming” and “targeting our innocent kids with their filth”.

They have also made breach of contract allegations, claiming the Destiny Church campaign against their events caused the cancellation of some of their “Rainbow Library” shows.

Lawyer Chris Griggs told the High Court at Auckland last Thursday that Tamaki and the church had not followed court orders to share its communications.
