Controversial far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has slammed an Australian school programme that teaches youngsters about gay sex.
Sex education in Victoria’s primary schools came under fire this week after it emerged that students in grade 2 and 3 are being shown pictures of genitalia – and those in grade 4 are being taught about same-sex couples.
It prompted Yiannopoulos to claim that, although he is in a ‘happy gay marriage’, it shouldn’t be ‘pushed down the throats of young children.’
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Yiannopoulos – who resigned from US news website Breitbart in February when a video of him endorsing paedophilia resurfaced – claimed children ‘shouldn’t be thinking about sex at all.’

‘It’s disgusting,’ he said.
‘It’s disgusting that children who haven’t even reached puberty are assaulted with gay political propaganda.
‘I’m not sure they should be thinking about any kind of sex at all. It’s tantamount to child abuse.’
He added: ‘I’m gay, I’m happy to be gay. I have a pretty stable gay marriage, but I don’t agree with pushing it down the throats of young children.’
Yiannopoulus lost his job at Breitbart because of comments he made in which he defended paedophilia.

The far-right news organisation was forced to take action against Yiannopoulus by its own staff, who threatened to revolt if he wasn’t disciplined.
It came after a video interview with the hosts of a podcast from 2016 resurfaced online.
Over the course of the interview, Yiannpoulos condoned sex with boys as young as 13 and said consent by minors is ‘arbitrary and oppressive.’
‘Paedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature,’ he claimed.
‘Paedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty.’
This week, Yiannopoulus lost a gig writing a weekly column for The Daily Caller after a backlash following the publication of his first piece on the allegations of sexual harassment against Kevin Spacey.
