Darlinghurst

Sydney queer history and cultural centre Qtopia is one of the federal budget winners after the Albanese government agreed to allocate $1.5 million to it in the 2024-25 federal budget.

The organisers of Flash, a weekly gay dance party at Darlinghurst’s Two 3 One, have responded to a late-night City of Sydney inspection that halted entry to the event over capacity and safety concerns, issuing a public statement outlining what went wrong and how they’re planning to fix it.

What makes a gay club gay? It’s a question I’ve been turning over in my mind since Saturday night’s launch of Aura, the new nightclub that’s taken over the space once occupied by Arq.
