GenQ - For the not so straight individual

Grant Denyer, better known for being a personality on Channel Seven, having been the ‘weather guy’ on Sunrise for a number of years, as well as hosting Australia’s Got Talent and It Takes Two this year, has angered many after making a controversial comment on radio involving having sex with a black man.

The comment was made during an interview with Nova’s Merrick and Rosso the morning after the Logies. When answering a question, Denyer said “So it was a big old day … let me say I'm feeling like I had sex with a black man right now.� Towards the end of the interview, another sexual comment was made by Denyer when he said “I'll be the host who looks like he's been riding a horse for a week.�

The comments outraged the gay community, as well as Laurie Ferguson, the multicultural spokesperson for the opposition, who said “the station should have cut him off immediately.� “Basically this guy should go back to reading the weather.�

Denyer has since apologized on Today Tonight, stating “Anyone who knows me knows I wouldn't go out to offend.� “It was a wobbly joke, made way too early in the morning.�
