Edinburgh, around 9.20pm on the night of Friday July 30. Photographs showed yobs kicking one of the men into the road as a car approached on the busy street, near to John Lewis.A horrified witness said: "It was unprovoked entirely - the gay men did not fight back, they only tried to defend themselves."The boys were laughing, egging each other on and calling the victims p**fs.
Another girl (at the scene) heard them say p**fs explicitly."The victim came straight over, thanked me and I asked if he was okay.
