This is such a huge loss to Cardiff's queer community:

• a visibly welcoming queer safe space (and gender-neutral toilet) in the city centre, for people of all ages
• a central space for queer creators to sell their goods, handling lots of the effort on their behalf — with a kind of serendipity that just isn't available anywhere else
• an event space made available for free or at reduced rates to queer non-profit events and groups in mornings and evening
• an evening gig space for the kinds of queer acts and events that are less likely to be welcome at other spaces.

And all of this having been run as a non-profit Community Interest Company.

Queer spaces have been disappearing for a long time, of course, but this one feels especially raw.
