Veteran comedian Jerry Lewis has again for made an anti-gay slur, this time on Australian television. The comment reportedly is similar to one he apologized for using on his annual U.S. telethon a year ago.
The 82-year-old comedian made the comment after a press conference in Sydney on Friday when he was asked his opinion on the Australian nation sport of cricket.
Lewis apologized in September last year for using the term “illiterate faggot”. After, he stated the slur was a “bad choice of words.”
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, as well as gay rights group Australian Coalition for Equality called for Lewis to again apologize.
