Fox News at San Francisco Pride: ‘Are you sure you like girls?’
By Josh Haggis
Fox News’ report on last month’s San Francisco Pride is now online – and it makes for interesting viewing.
During the report, Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters appears to mock Pride-goers with questions including “Are you out of the closet?” – directed at a gay man wearing a flamboyant costume – and “Are you sure don’t like girls?”, which Watters poses to a pair of drag queens.
Watters’ vox pop interviews with Pride-goers are interspersed with stock footage which appears to reinforce homosexual stereotypes.
Fox News’ San Francisco Pride report aired as part of The O’Reilly Factor, a nightly political commentary show hosted by Bill O’Reilly, who once opposed gay marriage in the US, but has recently adopted a more liberal stance on the issue.
