They're 16 and pushing their luck. If you'd been a woman on your own it would have been the same.
How did they know you were gay anyway? You don't dress that obviously. Did you have a T-shirt with 'I am gay' on it? If you were a hetero man on your own they may still have done the same.
Conclusion - gangs of 16 year olds are arseholes.
By the way, in case it doesn't sound like it, I'm sorry it happened to you, it shouldn't any more.

I suppose it was the cardigan that gave it away?
It felt like being a black guy in the 50s.
Edit- why not pick on the other 30 people on the bus, a plethora of married/single men/women. In fact, one guy sat next to me half way through and chose to leave the seat and sit somewhere else because of the abuse.

In the smaller cities and more provinicial areas, people generally don't give a shit; for the most part, the worst they can do is point and laugh at you if you go out looking like a bell-end.
