Author Douglas Murray has slammed an article labelling English novelist George Orwell as homophobic.
“None of this stuff is at all unknown - George Orwell in human being, shocker!” he told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi.
“This is just an attempt to grab headlines by the author in question.”
Mr Murray praised George Orwell for contributing some of the most important works of the 20th century, some of the most important journalism and some of the most important fiction.
"Perhaps as a gay man, maybe I have some privilege to say this - I don’t give a damn that George Orwell didn’t think that gay people were exactly quite the same as, say, himself.
“I don’t need him to be in total alignment with my views in 2023.”
