Assault accusation after Rainbow Flag raised outside Destiny Church

In a pre-dawn altercation that unfolded outside Destiny Church in Wiri, South Auckland, the hoisting of a rainbow flag atop a Norfolk Pine has sparked a police investigation into an alleged assault.

According to a report in legacy media, the incident occurred around 4:20 am when a man was spotted hanging the rainbow flag on public property. An altercation ensued involving the man and two individuals from a nearby property on Druces Rd.

The incident comes in the wake of recent painting over of two rainbow crossings, one in Gisborne and the other on Auckland’s Karangahape Rd.

In a tweet this morning South Auckland resident Zane Wedding alleged that he was assaulted by members of Destiny Church after raising the pride flag on a Norfolk Pine ‘on property outside Destiny Church.’

Reports say Destiny Church members acknowledged removing the flag in the early hours, and police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault.

    • GFY, Zane 🖕

      It was very clearly done out of malice and in some weak attempt at a pathetic revenge. You wanted a reaction and you got a reaction. Now it’s time to play the victim and cry those long crocodile tears. Stunning and brave, the social media internet points will be along shortly.

      How much did they pay you for this stunt? What did they promise you?

    • FYI Anon, my comment to Zane not directed at you, lol.

      Posted in the reply box by accident, can’t see straight with all those damned rainbow colours everywhere. Xe blinded me with science! 😆
