British journalist Owen Jones stormed out of a live television interview about the mass killing in Orlando in protest at his interviewer's refusal to name the shooting an attack on LGBT people.
“At the end of the day this was a homophobic hate crime, as well as terrorism and it has to be called out, as I have to say, on Sky News and lots of news channels, there's not been many LGBT voices that I’ve heard myself," he said.
He clashed with Sky News press preview host Mark Longhurst and co-guest Julia Hartley-Brewer over the gunman's motives and whether or not the deadliest mass shooting in US history should be called a homophobic attack, rather than a religiously-motivated assault.
The interview surrounded the New York-born Omar Mateen who opened fire in a gay nightclub called Pulse on Saturday evening, killing at least 50 people and injuring 53 more.
