Councillors have rejected plans for the redevelopment of the Joiners Arms, an east London pub that has counted designer Alexander McQueen, singer Rufus Wainwright and photographer Wolfgang Tillmans among its clientele, amid concerns that protections for a new LGBT venue on the site do not go far enough to ensure the viability of a new queer space.
Campaigners, who attended the council meeting in T-shirts reading “Long live queer spaces” under rainbow umbrellas, welcomed the council’s decision as a victory for “queer power” and hoped that the developer would meet their demands for a larger, better-equipped venue with a later licence and outdoor smoking area.
In an emotional speech, Amy Roberts, co-chair of the Friends of the Joiners Arms campaign group, told the committee that she was campaigning for the Joiners as it was one of few places in London were she felt safe enough to kiss another woman without fear of attack.

The developer bought property that included a queer bar and wants to replace it with something for humanity, not degenerates. The degenerates believe that since the property is a desecrated space in England, it must remain desecrated land for the Let God Burn Them Quickly (LGBTQ) crowd. The queers are angry gay bars are closing all over town. The local government sided with the degenerates.
