However, the cisn to build the mosque has also sparked a bate, wh crics qutng s lotn, also known for s bars, nightclubs, gay venu and strip jots. The area is also known for s ncentratn of bars, nightclubs, gay venu and strip jots – all of which are nsired sful Islam. A secret gay bar owned by a black bisexual woman opened on a quiet street Brixton 1977, across om a pub notor for not allowg black or gay people si.

It was a risky cisn to take at the time due to proment racist and homophobic views.

The landlord of the pub nearby, The Gee which was on the rner of Efa Para and Railton Road, was reportedly known to be a racist and attracted further anger om the lol muny when he banned gays 1975. She opened up the gay bar - lled Pearl's Shebeen - around 1977, though exact dat are hard to nfirm. It was the only gay bar operatg Brixton at the time, and after Pearl stopped sellg alhol 1980 for fear of a police raid, many years would pass until another gay bar would pop up the area.
