Milo Yiannopoulos took aim at ‘angry lesbians’ after a protester hurled a shoe at him during his speaking event in Sydney.
The leather slip-on was thrown at the outspoken author during Tuesday’s show, but missed its target and slammed into the head of a female audience member.
‘I sometimes wonder about being assassinated by angry lesbians. If that’s any indication of their aim I don’t think I need to worry too much,’ Yiannopoulos said.
‘[There’s] no fear of me having a George Bush dodging-the-shoe moment when they can’t even reach the second row. You f***ing losers.’

The shoe-thrower was hustled out of the Lilyfield venue by burly security guards to the jeers of the 1,200-strong audience.
Yiannopoulos quickly returned to his attack on left-wing political correctness and its supposed alliance with radical Islam.
Seven protesters were arrested outside the venue, which was heavily guarded by mounted police, officers on bicycles, the riot squad and marine police.
Fans of the right-wing commentator were heckled by more than 100 protesters as they entered the venue, with police having to stand between the two groups.

Four people were arrested for breaching the peace, one for assaulting a police officer, one for affray and one for not complying with direction.
Banners and placards saying ‘f*** off Nazi scum’ and ‘kill yourself like Adolf Hitler’ greeted Yiannopoulos he arrived to denounce Islam, feminism and cultural Marxism.
Police on horseback were called ‘animals’ and ‘racist pigs’ as they kept more than 70 youthful demonstrators to a patch of grass by the shores of the Parramatta River.
Protesters held signs including a large banner that said: ‘First they came for the Muslims and we said, ‘Not this time you f***er’.’

‘Within a matter of minutes 30 or 40 people swarmed us,’ attendee Jake said of his experience with protesters waiting outside the venue.
‘I’ve never seen anything like it outside of fights in rugby.’
Inside, Yiannopoulos told the crowd he liked One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, before bizarrely joking that she was probably a lesbian in her youth.
‘I think she is pretty cool. I like her,’ he said. ‘Maybe earlier in life, she’s dabbled.’
Yiannopoulos, who is married in the US, confirmed to the audience he actually supported gay marriage, despite urging Australians to avoid legislating for same-sex matrimony.
‘My view on gay marriage has evolved. My default answer is I’m against it.

‘I think it’s a shame when gay people are locked into heteronormative institutions as the left would say,’ he said.
However, he said meeting his husband John had changed his mind.
‘That changed when I fell in love,’ he said.
‘Now, I’m in a position I think it’s probably mean and unnecessary for the state not to recognise gay people who want to get as close to virtue as they can.’
Being a magnet for controversy, Yiannopoulos used inflammatory language to insinuate Lebanese Muslims weren’t integrating into Australia.
‘Saying African Americans aren’t good at basketball is like saying Lebanese aren’t into fraud and gang rape,’ he said.
He also took aim at the term Islamophobia and the left’s ‘pandering and sucking up to a poisonous ideology’.

Yiannopoulos also described moderate Islam as something which ‘doesn’t exist’ like a ‘hot ginger’.
‘There’s nothing irrational about being scared of people who want you dead,’ he said to loud applause, before joking he was an ‘old fashioned’ guy who wouldn’t mind being raped by American rapper Chris Brown.
Repeating the antics of his Melbourne show, that also attracted violent protests, Yiannopoulos put up an unflattering image of feminist Clementine Ford on a screen with the phrase ‘unf***able’.
He then accused feminists of actually being more concerned about destroying western civilisation than standing up for women’s rights.

The Project host Waleed Aly’s Muslim-convert wife Susan Carland was also mocked for wearing a hijab by choice ‘not because her uncle will throw acid in her face’.
Studio 10 host Jessica Rowe, a self-described feminist he had clashed with on the ‘crypto-communist’ Ten Network, was mocked for her short haircut.
After the show, Labor’s indigenous former national president Warren Mundine said he agreed with Yiannopoulos on the toxicity of identity politics where people are defined by their race.
‘I’ve had that thing thrown at me. You’re black, why aren’t you following the rest of the crew?’ he told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday night.
