Kat Dopper, an organiser with Heaps Gay, says she has received death threats after the group’s venue was cancelled. Multiple outlets report that Dopper was asked to vacate a deconsecrated church within a week. They say the landlord relied on an 1842 New South Wales tenant law associated with an “offensive trade” classification. The decision follows Christian protests connected to the queer venue’s use of the site.
While the articles focus on the eviction and the threats Dopper alleges she has received, they describe the broader sequence as beginning with religious objections to the event and ending with the landlord’s notice referencing the older legal provision. Across the reports, the central details are that Heaps Gay had been using the church as a venue, that the landlord issued a short timeframe for departure, and that Dopper has subsequently faced threatening messages. The reports do not indicate changes to the notice or the final outcome at the time of publication.
