## Resource

A Sydney pop-up LGBTQIA+ club, Divine Playhouse, has been forced to shut down after facing backlash from religious groups over its provocative, church-themed events — including “Sunday Mess — An Unholy Brunch Party” — and a landlord’s eviction notice demanding it stop “offensive trade.” Despite organizers’ claims of making changes and reactivating social media, all future events are canceled, sparking debate over artistic freedom versus religious sensitivities. Supporters argue queer spaces and creative expression should be protected, especially as Sydney’s creative economy thrives. The leaseholder is now exploring legal options, while police prepare for potential protests — leaving the club’s future uncertain.
