Mark Latham is embroiled in his second controversy over LGBT issues in as many weeks, just days after queer activists were allegedly bashed outside one of his pre-election speeches.
Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleMark Latham's second controversy over LGBT issues in as many weeks has caused a split in One Nation, with federal senator Pauline Hanson admonishing his remarks as "disgusting".
"I want you to know that I don't condone them [the comments], and neither do my members of parliament or party associates," Ms Hanson said in a video statement."I have actually tried to ring Mark a couple of times, to no avail … and also I've asked him to give the people an apology." "We know that some people seek to target the LGBTQ community to get attention, I don't intend to help them with that," he said.
"But I focus more on the majority of people across the state who love, support and celebrate the LGBTQ community."He later posted a tweet of his own, showing a picture of him with husband Victor Hoeld.
