I was gutted, understandably, when I found out earlier this year that my favourite queer bar, The Glory, was going to close.
But I also had a bunch of questions, as it wasn't closing for the same reason that so many others do (£££). In fact, the owners opened a brand new venue, The Divine, within days of The Glory closing its door.
So I needed to find out more...
Luckily, I got to sit down with one of the bar's owners, John Sizzle, just a few weeks after the space had closed to find out all the answers directly.
Why did The Glory close?
What was the decision?
And, crucially, how difficult was that decision to make?
