A church in Australia that was converted into an LGBT nightclub has been forced to shut its doors just three days after opening.Heaps Gay, the organisation that operates Divine Playhouse, has pointed the finger at a coordinated campaign by Christian activist groups, including Fit for the Kingdom and the Prodigal Sons, who labelled the club's programming "hateful blasphemy".The swift shutdown has ignited a fierce dispute pitting religious sensitivities against LGBT cultural expression, with a legal challenge now looming over the landlord's decision to terminate the lease.The landlord terminated the lease by invoking an obscure provision under the Conveyancing Act, which prohibits tenants from carrying out any "noxious, noisome, or offensive art, trade, business occupation, or calling".
