A beauty salon in Kyiv, Ukraine has had severed pig heads dumped at its entrance after publicly supporting LGBTQ+ people.
The attack on the G.Bar salon on Lesi Ukrainky Boulevard took place on 21 July, the chain’s management said on Instagram (WARNING – the Instagram post features graphic images).
G.Bar said its salons in Ukraine had “been under sustained pressure for the past month because we openly support human values and every person’s right to love freely and live without fear or hatred”.
According to Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne, that pressure stems from the chain’s public backing of the LGBTQ+ community.
“We are not going to respond to aggression with aggression. Nor are we going to abandon our values out of fear,” G.Bar said.
“We simply want to live and work in a country where businesses aren’t afraid to open their doors each morning.” The chain said it has reported each incident to law enforcement and documented the violations.
G.Bar is an international beauty franchise founded in Ukraine, with more than 71 locations across 14 countries.
