Lucy Spraggan’s recent trip to Malta with her girlfriend was cut short after the couple were subjected to homophobic abuse. Lucy, 30, opened up about their experiences on Instagram, and explained that prior to their trip, she was under the impression that a lot of Malta was LGBTQ+ friendly.
However, Lucy and her girlfriend received several comments about their relationship when out together, leading to the pair ending their holiday early.
Following her horrific revelations on social media, Lucy has received dozens of messages of support from people — including from the Maltese community and the country's minister for equality.
