Homophobic attack won’t dampen spirits
A BRICK containing a homophobic slur was thrown through the window of one of Dublin’s most famous gay bars. Shortly before midnight on Friday the shocking incident happened in Panti Bar on Capel Street. The owner of the bar, Rory O’neill ,pictured left, or Panti Bliss as he is more commonly known, shared a picture of the brick on Twitter writing: “No one hurt. It says in Irish ‘FAIRIES OUT OF IRELAND’. “But we are Ireland. Happy Pride everyone. It’s going to be a great day tomorrow, full of Irish love and queer joy. Be thankful for it, because some people have neither.” A garda spokesperson said: “A man in his late teens was arrested near the scene and taken to Store Street Garda Station. He has since been released.”
