Gay Spar's g out story is one as old as time.

We all knew Gay Spar had to officially e out on s own terms, s own time. I wanna take you to a Gay SparI wanna take you to a Gay SparI wanna take you to a Gay Spar! Gay Spar!

LOVE LETTER TO GAY SPAR: DUBL’S MOST BELOVED NVENIENT STORE

Some would say the 2016 Marriage Equaly Referendum uld have been a good time for Gay Spar to boldly exclaim, "I am who I am". For years, Gay Spar has been a place of clivy, a safe space (apart om the odd vasn of a brave pigeon eyeg up the baked goods every now and then) and most importantly, a place to get a breakfast roll at 3am, if that's what your heart sir.

This year, we're lighted to report Gay Spar has joed the rt of the cy acknowledgg s te inty. Gay spar… has bee sentient. Gay Spar will rema a welg sanctuary for stg wh your box of wedg, watchg the world go by, for bondg wh strangers post-night out over your snacks of choice, all lovgly adorned wh PAID stickers, and of urse, for attemptg to fd the last n of Wheclaw Dubl durg Pri weekend.

GAY SPAR: LAST NEWS

All we need, when we need , unr the tree at Gay Spar. Standg proudly on the rner of Gee's Street, Gay Spar has served as a highlight for many a night out Dubl. I am of urse referrg to the cultural rner that is Gay Spar.

'GAY SPAR' HAS BASILLY WON PRI BY G OUT FOR THE FTIVAL

Gay Spar has not only bee the subject of gas tweets and even an Instagram acunt, but has bee self-aware. The banner clud a picture of a tweet readg, “I wonr if Gay Spar knows ’s Gay Spar? Bt b of work I've ever done for my job was the ia and sign of this sign for Gay Spar AKA Spar Dame Street.

As a gay man, I n nfirm that has somewhat bee an unexpected cultural hub for those lookg for a post-night out munch as well as vib. I want a Culture Night talk about the cultural signifince of Gay Spar.

'GAY SPAR' STAFF MEMBER SHAR HEARTFELT LETTER TO DUBL NIGHTLIFE LOVERS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE MISS THEM

I hope the Pope bls Gay Spar when he’s Dubl. They jt played the Sex and the Cy theme song Gay Spar on Dame Street. I propose that next year, that olr lady who works nights Gay Spar be appoted Grand Marshal of @DublPri.

Can you IMAGINE the amount of over-partied baby gays she’s looked after at 4am when they’ve lost their phone and fallen asleep to their chicken fillet roll!?

The Gays on their way to Gay Spar for a chicken fillet roll after the G. Gay Spar, I love you and I hope you’ve been well through the crazy tim.

CHEEKY ARTWORK PROV THAT DUBL’S GAY SPAR FELY IS GAY SPAR

For those not the know the Spar on the rner of Dame Street is fondly known as Gay Spar due to s proximy to The Gee. One Twter er who go by the handle of danny vo ponred a while back whether the shop actually knew if was gay or not.

Gay spar said gay rights! The msage has been picked up by Twter ers who have posted a flurry of support msag to gay Spar.

Nice ltle shout out for gay spar. '29th June: the day Gay Spar beme self aware' posted one person.

ANTI-LGBT PROTTERS DEMAND A ‘STRAIGHT MACE’ TO RIVAL GAY SPAR

Can’t wa for the day there’s a Gay Spar float the Pri Para ✨? A third envisned a Gay Spar float that clud burlque dancg chicken fillet rolls and we are so on board wh that.

Gay Spar is a cultural phenomenon I don't thk any of uld have predicted.

A ltle while ago, I wrote a love letter to Gay Spar.

After many a night out The Gee or other bars and clubs around Dubl 2, Gay Spar (on the rner of Dame Street and Gee's Street) is often the next stop before hoppg a taxi to get home. After sharg the love letter, I received a geo rponse om one of the staff members, Majella Cafolla, who told me she is the "olr lady" referred to many tweets about Gay Spar. "This is the Olr lady om Gay Spar.
