Universal Sydney

A man who hurled homophobic abuse at a staff member inside Oxford Street queer bar Universal Sydney has been sentenced after pleading guilty to intimidation, according to reporting by The Daily Telegraph.

After years of feeling like they didn't fit into Sydney's drag scene, local performer Crème recently claimed a standout victory – taking home $10,000 as the winner of the annual Slay 2 Stay drag competition at Oxford Street's Universal nightclub.

The son of a publican who owns Sydney queer venues the Imperial Hotel, Universal Sydney and Oxford Hotel – who claimed on LinkedIn to be a "director" of the parent company that owns those pubs – has been charged after allegedly breaking into a woman's home with two other men to steal her car keys and registration papers.
