A group of anti-LGBT+ ‘Christian Lives Matter’ protesters staged a bizarre protest in Sydney in an attempt to drown out a gay concert.
Organised by Heaps Gay, the outdoor “Live & Queer” variety performance was the scene of an ugly confrontation on the publicly-owned Cathedral Square in Sydney city centre on Saturday (22 February).
The self-described “chaotic queer variety show” was the latest in a series of city-sanctioned event series making use of the public outdoor space as lockdown eases, with a pop-up venue opening at the site.

Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher lashed out the promotion of an LGBT+ event taking place on the St Mary’s Cathedral forecourt.
Fisher said he was frustrated and upset that “St Mary’s Cathedral, the mother church of Australia, has been used so provocatively” to promote a “Heaps Gay” variety show.
In using an image of the cathedral in marketing materials, Fisher claimed that “such little sensitivity” had been “shown to people of faith”
