Sirkel Foods in Stratford was a recent target of a hate crime.
Mel Lang, owner of the downtown eatery alongside her wife Kelly Ballantyne arrived at the business at 5am on Tuesday to find the building spray painted with homophobic slurs on the doors and windows.
In a post shared to social media, Sirkel Foods says we must continue to teach youth to love and not hate.
Support for the business has since poured in across Stratford which included the Stratford Festival who raised a Pride flag on Tuesday as a show of support.
