A New Plymouth drag performer says a torrent of abuse directed at a Rainbow Storytime event at the Puke Ariki Library in the city has left her dismayed.
Sunita Torrance and Daniel Lockett perform as Coco and Erika in a show which encourages inclusivity and kindness.
On a New Plymouth District Council Facebook post promoting the appearance the pair was accused of indoctrinating children and recruiting for the Rainbow community.
Torrance spoke to Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin, who began by asking her about the show.
