NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham is going through uproar over a tweet he made a few homosexual parliamentarian that many are calling homophobic.
Mr Latham wrote the tweets on Thursday in response to feedback from overtly homosexual MP Alex Greenwich blasting him for his involvement in an occasion the place LGBTQIA+ protesters have been focused.
“Mark Latham is a disgusting human being and people who are considering voting for One Nation need to realise they are voting for an extremely hateful and dangerous individual who risks causing a great deal of damage to our state,” Mr Greenwich stated final week.
In response, Latham wrote “Disgusting? How does that compare with -” earlier than making a crude reference to a sexual act.
The tweet remained on-line for round three hours earlier than it was deleted.
The trade comes after a whole bunch of Christian protesters focused LGBTQIA+ activists outdoors a church the place Mr Latham gave a speech finally Tuesday.
The ‘Christian Lives Matter’ group have been seen on video throwing bottles and rocks at a small gathering of LGBTQIA+ protesters who have been opposing Mr Latham.
At one level an individual is pushed to the bottom and police are additionally focused by the protesters.
The One Nation chief’s tweets have been closely criticised.
“Mark Latham has deleted these disgusting homophobic tweets without apology or explanation (not that any apology would be genuine anyway,” refugee advocate Shane Bazzi wrote on-line.
“Extraordinary. This is One Nation NSW Leader #MarkLatham referring today to another elected politician who happens to be gay,” lead Channel 10 journalist and presenter Hugh Riminton stated.
