The man at the centre of Spar homophobia incident speaks out

“I chose my words badly'.

The man who was the subject of a homophobic slur in a Dublin Spar has spoken out after the story was screengrabbed and shared widely online.

Colm (who doesn't want his full name released) posted the story to Facebook after being called a 'faggot' by another customer. That customer and the woman he was with were then refused service by a Spar employee - now affectionately referred to online as 'Spar Guy'.
