Shock at hate attack against gay man

AN OLD Town man was attacked in what he described as a “hate crime” because he is homosexual.

The 38-year-old man, who asked to remain anonymous, was walking home after a night out at the Pink Rooms club in Victoria Road.

He was set upon by two men who were walking along Eastcott Road, near South Street, Old Town, at about 4.30am on Sunday.

They asked the man why he had red glitter on the left side of his face.
