Organisers of Auckland pride events are warning people to be vigilant, following disruptions by Destiny Church followers yesterday
16 February 2025
Yesterday, members of the church's Man Up and Legacy groups stormed a children's drag event at a west Auckland library - where about 30 people had to be barricaded inside.
Later, police intervened when the the same group disrupted Pride Parade festivities on Ponsonby Road with a haka.
The Parade's Event Manager Shaughan Woodcock, says pride was born out of protest - and the parade is held to celebrate love, diversity, and inclusion.
