This is disgraceful.

Riyadh Khalaf, campaigner for Marriage Equality and one of Ireland’s most famous YouTube stars, has been targeted in a horrific acid attack at his home in Bray, Wicklow, allegedly by “anti-equality individuals”.

The young Irishman tweeted about the incident earlier today:

Here’s hoping that the criminals will be brought to justice and, if you do know anything about the attack, please contact a member of An Garda Síochána.
