The internet is all aflutter this morning as a worker in a Spar shop in Dublin declined to serve a homophobic customer over the weekend.

Yesterday, drag performer and activist Panti Bliss shared a post from a friend’s Facebook page that described how two customers in Spar on Baggot Street referred to him as a "faggot". Have a read of what happened next...

Although not everyone’s happy with how the story was told:

Nobody else finding the irony in the fact that the gay guy in the #SparGuy refers to the woman as a "scaldy hun" as if he's not offensive?
