Brian Tamaki claims the public is on his side on rainbow issues.

A member of his Destiny Church has pleaded guilty and been convicted of vandalising Auckland's K Road rainbow crossing.

Tamaki claims there's public concern about drag queens reading stories to children in libraries and the state of relationship and sexuality education in schools.

He says this was a drastic measure.

"When you have a protest action like that, you're not sorry to actually get the attention of the councils."
