    A teen mob attacked a gay couple as they walked together in Queens last week – repeatedly punching one of them after hurling slurs at the pair, authorities said.

    The male victims, both 36, were strolling on Broadway near 33rd Street in Astoria around 7:30 p.m. when four young-looking bullies shouted an anti-gay slur then pelted the couple with unspecified“hard objects,” authorities said.
