Dublin’s George nightclub was vandalised last night

This is vile.

It's traditionally been a haven for gay people in the capital, but last night The George nightclub in Dublin was vandalised with homophobic graffiti. Slurs including 'fag bar', 'faggots' and queers' were written on the side of the building, as well as a large swastika.

The graffiti was written in chalk and has now been removed, according to Newstalk. Gardaí told the radio station that no arrests had been made and that an investigation was ongoing. The vandalism comes almost two years to the day since Ireland voted in favour of gay marriage by referendum. The Twitter reaction says it all.

The individual(s) who did this need help. God love them. Upsetting & unimaginative all in one! #thegeorge ❤️?#lovewins @TheGeorgeBar pic.twitter.com/V5OV8Lkdgz
