Australian Radio Host Under Fire For Gay Remarks

By , About.com GuideNovember 5, 2004

Follow me on:

A tip from RadioInfo.com.au: Australian talk show host, John Laws, who is on 2UE and other Aussie stations, is accused of being homophobic after remarks he made on-air about Carson Kressley from "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" fame. Smh.com.au reports: ...he went on air to call Carson Kressley, a guest judge of fashions in the field at the Melbourne Cup, a "pansy prig" and "pillow biter" and described his language as "poof-speak". Laws also said it would have been better to get a bunch of "fair-dinkum Australian men", such as himself, or a group of truckies to judge the women's frocks. Full Story.
