They attacked though, i think this is more a psychological issue more than a direct and targeted attack on the gay community.

Is there a difference?

No, they didn't go out on the hunt for a gay couple to attack. But, they still attacked a gay couple... for being gay. The difference doesn't change anything.

Could easily have been an old man that had told them to show some respect.

Their hostility towards gays was pre existing. Opportunity to act on it presented itself and they took it.

But also what kind of a man beats up women?

Why discuss hypotheticals?
Let's stick to facts. They perpetrated a violent homophobic attack
