Mark Latham Sacked From Sky News For Calling Student ‘Gay’ For Supporting Women’s Rights
A Sky News Australia host has been fired after he called a high school student “gay” for supporting women’s rights. Mark Latham, former leader of the Australian Labor Party, was sacked after an on-air discussion about an International Women’s Day video created by pupils at Sydney Boys High School. In the video, male pupils read statements from women and girls about why feminism is important to them. But in a chat with ‘Outsiders’ co-host Ross Cameron, Latham attacked the boys, saying they had made themselves “undateable because “left [leaning] women think they are hopeless, misogynists, toxic culture”.
“And sensible girls out in the suburbs would think they’re absolutely wallies.”
The 56-year-old then added: “I thought the first guy was gay. Maybe that’s all they’ve got left now.”
In a statement on Twitter, CEO of Australian News Channel Angelos Frangopoulos said: “While we support strong opinions and robust arguments we pride ourselves in doing so in a civil and respectful manner.”

Maybe people should see a bit more of what this 'boys school feminism video' was all about, and hear how the boys attempts at being pro-feminist were roundly criticised by females... and then see what was actually said about it all by the 3 guys on the show that latham was part of...!!!

"Gay dickheads"?
So your response is by some girls who hate gays?
Or just actually some Aussie men who make views in that video?
Where is the women's voices in that video?
Talk about an own goal by Tommy, and clearly he never watched it .

Re: Mark Latham Sacked From Sky News For Calling Student ‘Gay’ For Supporting Women’s Rights
First thing is that the original 'pro feminist' video was made by a bunch of over privileged boys from an exclusive 'all boys school'...!!!
Secondly... it was ridiculed by females for the sheer hypocrisy of trying to sound 'pro female' while being in a school that accepts only male students!!!
Then the whole thing was laughted about by the 3 on the sky show!!!
The show that was created to make light hearted comedy out of the real left wing pc waffle madness that exists in society!!!
Everyone should watch the video and see for themselves what the real truth is!!!

1) It was ridiculed by some Aussie men in your video?
2) Second, that now any man that defends women is some how gay. So to Tommy, any man that stands up for the rights of women in Muslim majority countries is gay?
3) So I agree an all boys schools is wrong, but how does that make the boys gay, simple for standing up for women's rights? Or is it okay to cast someone gay for how they look.
4) So Tommy must be gay, because I have decided he is hypothetically?
Is he happy with this?

Re: Mark Latham Sacked From Sky News For Calling Student ‘Gay’ For Supporting Women’s Rights
I presume he said that about the first guy because he said a guy wanted to have sex with him. Of course, that wouldn't make him gay because he said he didn't want to have sex with the guy.

It doesn't... latham said (in context) that he 'thought the first boy was gay'... and as the first boy was clearly talking about 'having sex with men'... then what is wrong with latham's light hearted and humorous comment in the show that was specifically designed to be light hearted and humorous...!!!???

Well done to these boys who are so confident and emotionally secure in themselves that they have no need to put anyone down in order to feel good about themselves. Being considerate towards women does not make a man a pushover or doormat.
I pity anyone who has a compulsive need to go round belittling gays, ethnics, women, etc - especially those who make a flipping career out of it. Something must have gone very wrong in their upbringing. By the same token I see a considerate, thoughtful man and think. "My God, your mum did a brilliant job there".

Feminism means equal opportunities and fairness for women. And as most people agree with this, it follows that most people are 'feminists' by definition. It is first and foremost an ideology, not a political movement.

Its good to see Sky dissociating with dinosaurs.
Now if boys talk about men having sex they must be gay, I mean how does that work?
So conversations about sex is a reason to cast now people gay?

Sacking someone for saying they thought someone was gay is implying that being gay is a bad thing, yes?

Nobody is saying being gay is bad, what is being said, is that someone who is not gay, but being cast as gay by their looks and views is a piss poor stereotype
Would you feel fine that someone claims you look like a tranny?
Does that mean being a tranny is bad?
No

Isn't that just complete sexist drivel...!?
You clearly assume that all women/mothers are 'considerate and thoughtful' and no men/fathers are such... as well as assuming that 'considerate and thoughtful' are traits that no man could possibly inherently possess themselves, but are traits that can only be 'learned'... and then only learned from a mother???!!!
What a twat!!!

Nobody is saying all mothers and fathers are considerate, but the telling point here is, are you arguing against them being so?
I mean seriously evolution is based on a considerate parent or parents, as we would not have survived without them
You just made yourself look the twat

He said he thought the chap was gay because he was talking about a man wanting to have sex with him. It seems obvious to me.
Anyway, I don't know any of these people and they're Aussies, so ...

How is that sexist in the context of a single parent who is a mum?
Is he wrong to assume this?
If he is wrong, then is not the father in tune with feminism?

It would be very off topic for them to do so.
I already pointed out that the guy said he didn't want to have sex with the other guy who wanted to have sex with him.

I didn't "accuse" anyone of being gay. The whole topic is about the Aussie saying he thought the boy was gay, so it's not off topic, It would, however, be off topic for people to call me a lesbian as it's not relevant to the topic.

Re: Mark Latham Sacked From Sky News For Calling Student ‘Gay’ For Supporting Women’s Rights
The boy was saying there was a guy who decided that he would have sex with him... but he didn't want to...
Which leaves open the possibility that had he wanted to, he would have... or that had it been a different guy then that would also be a consideration for him...
Latham said he thought that boy sounded like he might have been gay... because he was talking about maybe having gay sex with men!!!
That is a perfectly reasonable assumption based on the statement made by the boy himself!!!
And the context of the show was to make light hearted humour about pc nonsense...!!!
Job done!!!
Not a sacking offence by any measure!!!

Re: Mark Latham Sacked From Sky News For Calling Student ‘Gay’ For Supporting Women’s Rights

Which leaves open the possibility that had he wanted to, he would have... or that had it been a different guy then that would also be a consideration for him...
Latham said he thought that boy sounded like he might have been gay... because he was talking about maybe having gay sex with men!!!
That is a perfectly reasonable assumption based on the statement made by the boy himself!!!
And the context of the show was to make light hearted humour about pc nonsense...!!!
Job done!!!
Not a sacking offence by any measure!!!

"Sounded like he might be gay"
Where is even the measure to cast someone sounding gay?
More sterotypes

Well done to these boys who are so confident and emotionally secure in themselves that they have no need to put anyone down in order to feel good about themselves. Being considerate towards women does not make a man a pushover or doormat.
I pity anyone who has a compulsive need to go round belittling gays, ethnics, women, etc - especially those who make a flipping career out of it. Something must have gone very wrong in their upbringing. By the same token I see a considerate, thoughtful man and think. "My God, your mum did a brilliant job there".
Isn't that just complete sexist drivel...!?
You clearly assume that all women/mothers are 'considerate and thoughtful' and no men/fathers are such... as well as assuming that 'considerate and thoughtful' are traits that no man could possibly inherently possess themselves, but are traits that can only be 'learned'... and then only learned from a mother???!!!
What a twat!!!
Strange that you get so excited when I wasn't even addressing you. You even lowered yourself to using the SXHRB comeback you're normally so snobbish about. Let alone the juvenile name callling.
Maybe there is something in my original comment that is close to home eh Tommy? Close to home as in spot on, you know, as in .... >> >>
Hmmmm.

Has everyone missed the point or have I interpreted the video wrongly?
The boy is not saying a guy wanted to have sex with him, he is quoting a womans words, like they all are.
