AustraliaAn adult shop owner in Perth, Western Australia, is planning to appeal a council decision that rejected his proposal to convert part of his business into a members-only space for the LGBTQIA+ community to socialize and engage in consensual sexual activity. The proposed venue, called Pink Rabbit Club, would include facilities for regular STI testing and safe-sex education. While city staff recommended approval with certain conditions, the council ultimately rejected the plan, citing concerns over public safety, antisocial behavior, and the impact on neighborhood character. Council members suggested alternative locations such as the Northbridge entertainment district, arguing that the current site was unsuitable. Some council members expressed support for the concept of safe spaces for marginalized communities but questioned the exclusivity of the paid membership model. The proposal is now set to go before a tribunal.
