A gay MP who was targeted by NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham in a homophobic tweet has hit back with a classy response.
Mr Latham wrote the tweets on Thursday in response to comments from openly gay MP Alex Greenwich blasting him for his involvement in an event where LGBTQIA+ protesters were targeted.
“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 said last week.
In response, Latham wrote “Disgusting? How does that compare with -” before making a crude reference to a sexual act.
Mr Greenwich responded to the uproar on Twitter on Thursday evening, posting a picture of him alongside his husband.
He wrote: “For those wondering how I’m doing after Latham’s homophobic attacks today, I’m fine and I’m more motivated than ever to deliver long overdue LGBTIQA+ reforms… and I have the most handsome husband.”
