Mark Latham says the thought of gay sex makes him and other straight men want to vomit

Firebrand politician Mark Latham has said the mere thought of two men having sex was so “disgusting” to a straight man that he wanted to “throw up”.

“The basic natural reality is we don’t have anal sex with dudes and it’s puke-worthy,” the NSW One Nation leader told a radio audience on Thursday.

Mr Latham revealed more of his views on homosexual acts when asked to explain an abusive tweet he posted last month about gay MP Alex Greenwich.

Mr Greenwich had called Mr Latham a ‘disgusting human being’ for attending a rally on March 21 where Christians clashed with LGBTQI activists.

‘Awful?’ Mr Latham responded on Twitter. “How does that compare to sticking your dick in a dude’s ass and covering him in shit?”

Firebrand politician Mark Latham has said the mere thought of two men having sex was so “disgusting” to a straight man that he vomited. “The basic natural reality is that we don’t have anal sex with dudes and it’s puke-worthy,” he said Thursday.

Mr Latham, who has declined to apologize for the tweet, appeared on Chris Smith’s TNT radio program on Thursday afternoon and went even further with his comments.

“I speak for many straight men, Chris, when I say the idea of ​​having anal sex with another man would make you throw up,” he said. That’s what makes us straight.

“Now, I know there’s no category or letter in the LGBT ABC WTF alphabet for straight men, but that’s how we genuinely feel about people like Greenwich.”

When Smith asked Mr. Latham if he would use the same foul language in the tweet when he had time again, he said, “Well, it’s code for anal sex between dudes.”

“I can tell you, Chris, if someone put a gun to my head and told me to have anal sex with a dude, I’d throw up. I would puke all over him. And I speak for straight men and this is what makes us straight.”

One Nation founder and federal leader Pauline Hanson called on Latham to apologize after the tweet, but said Thursday he would not.

“Pauline never called me at any stage,” Mr Latham told Smith. ‘I haven’t had any contact with her.

“I suppose as a woman she doesn’t understand how straight men feel about this and I don’t think gay men would understand how straight men feel about it, but it’s true.

It is an absolute fact that is an integral part of our existence. It is not an invented outrage or an invented point of view. We find the thought of having anal sex with another man unpleasant, disgusting, horrifying – you know, puke-worthy.

“So, you know, that’s just the reality. And that’s not homophobia, that’s just nature.

“The basic natural reality is that we don’t have anal sex with dudes and that’s puke-worthy.”

Two days after his original social media outburst, Mr Latham explained his refusal to apologize for the now-deleted tweet about Mr Greenwich.

“Sometimes in public life when you throw insults they come back to you harder and truer… So boo-hoo Alex Greenwich,” he said.

Mr Latham said that when Mr Greenwich ‘calls someone a disgusting person for attending a meeting in a church hall, perhaps attention will turn to some of his habits’.

“Greenwich goes to schools to talk to kids about being gay,” he said. “I didn’t want to be accused of something similar, leaving that kind of content on my socials.”

NSW Prime Minister Chris Minns previously called Mr Latham’s tweet “despicable” and on April 2 said he would try to prevent him from chairing committees in the upper house of the NSW Parliament.

Mr Latham responded to that call by telling Daily Mail Australia that he was ‘not applying’ for a committee chair, describing Mr Minns as ‘a fool’.

On Thursday, Mr Latham told Smith his tweet was justified by Mr Greenwich suggesting he had encouraged violence at the LGBTQI rally.

“Greenwich went out and said I was a dangerous person,” he said. “Said I had incited violence, said I was a disgusting human being.”

Latham said it’s “probably as extreme as you can get” for a politician and father to be called a disgusting human being.

“I took it as an attack on my love for my children, my role in my community, my work in public life,” he said. “He has attacked my existence as a human being as disgusting.

“Greenwich has gone way over the top without any facts and I have said in reply to him what I think is the truth. I gave my opinion.

‘Of course it is not an opinion that is fashionable. It was expressed rudely. The rude words have been removed from Twitter, but Greenwich will not apologise.”

When asked what he would do if Ms Hanson demanded he resign from her party, Mr Latham said: ‘Well she hasn’t contacted me and I don’t apologise’.

So I’m not resigning anywhere. I’m not apologizing and I’m not backing down.’

When given another chance to say he should have phrased his tweet in a different way, Mr Latham admitted he could have worded it less rudely.

“I suppose I would have talked about ‘anal sex,’ but that’s what I was talking about,” he told Smith.

“I grew up in Green Valley buddy, so it’s not uncommon in the language to say some dude sticks his dick in another dude’s ass.

“It was very direct language from the street. It was too gross to leave there, it came down, but yeah, I shouldn’t have talked about anal sex. But is that the big problem here?’

The attack on Mr Greenwich briefly brought him to tears, he said.

“This obviously hurt me. I cried a little bit at the end of the day yesterday,” he told reporters on March 31.

“After ten years in this gig and being re-elected, I didn’t think I would still be a victim of homophobic abuse.”

However, Mr Greenwich refused to call on Mr Latham to apologize or resign.

“I don’t want to give him another soap box to pretend to be a victim when he tries to victimize people,” he said.
