The One Nation leader downplayed Macdonald's experiences at Scots College in 's eastern suburbs by describing him as 'dripping with privilege'.
Mr Latham claimed homosexuals were 'massively over-represented' in the media and it was 'the greatest con job in the history of politics' that gay people were considered disadvantaged.

On April 20, Macdonald penned an opinion piece for Nine Newspapers in which he revealed he had endured 'verbal, psychological and sometimes physical torment' at the Presbyterian school.
The 41-year-old sometime ABC radio presenter wrote he was surprised and disappointed at the Presbyterian Church's proposed ban on gay and sexually active students from holding leadership roles.
The next night Macdonald appeared on Network Ten's The Project to discuss what it was like being a gay teenager at Scots College before he had told anyone he was homosexual.
'When I think back to my time at school, I wonder what a difference it would have made to know that I wasn't the only one,' the former Q+A host told viewers.
'A consequence of being schooled in an environment where being gay is considered thoroughly wrong is that you're left with a deep sense of shame that takes a lifetime to shake.
'Today, I lead a happy, fulfilling and productive life.
I love my partner and am loved in return and I take great pride in the work I do.
'But I'm surprised even still by the extent to which the dark, disruptive shadows of my time at school can creep up on me unexpectedly, casting a pall over my work or home life.'

Mr Latham referred to Macdonald's comments, without naming him, when he was interviewed by broadcaster Chris Smith onon Thursday afternoon.
'The biggest fraud in the history of our politics is the idea that because you're gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender that somehow you're automatically disadvantaged in life,' he said.
'There's an ABC journalist who's writing in the Herald, who educated at Scots College,' Mr Latham continued.
He then said Macdonald was highly paid for his broadcasting roles and was 'dripping with privilege'.
'[He's saying] I'm the disadvantaged person, I'm the vulnerable [one], I'm the person in need of special government protection because someone said something to him when he was at school.
'It's Scots College.
Most of the people I've represented in public life for decades could never dream of having the money to ever go to Scots College.
'This is the greatest con job in the history of politics that the gays in particular - who are massively over-represented in parliament and the media these days - are somehow disadvantaged.

'What they're saying is that we're dripping in money and media and political access and opportunities in life but because someone might say something about our sexuality we're the real vulnerable ones, much more than some kid growing up in Claymore in a public housing estate in Campbelltown.'
Mr Latham said politics should be about helping the disadvantaged rather than 'the LGBT alphabet baloney that they try and inflict upon us as a way of diverting the fact that these are massively privileged people.'
'The gay community has a higher level of income, education, opportunities in life,' he told Smith.
'I mean they're all over politics and the media.
And to have this as some new form of disadvantage in society is just complete and absolute BS.'
Mr Latham's attack on Macdonald came after he was asked to explain an offensive tweet he posted about about gay MP Alex Greenwich last month.
Mr Greenwich had called Mr Latham a 'disgusting human being' for attending a rally where Christians clashed with LGBTQI activists on March 21.
'Disgusting?' Mr Latham responded on Twitter.
'How does that compare with sticking your d*** up a bloke's a*** and covering it with s***?'
Mr Latham, who has refused to apologise for the tweet, went even further when speaking with Smith.
'I speak for a lot of straight men, Chris, in saying that the idea of having anal sex with another man would make you vomit,' he said.
'That's what makes us straight.'
The 41-year-old ABC presenter wrote he was surprised and disappointed at the Presbyterian Church's proposed ban on gay and sexually active students from holding leadership roles
When Smith asked Mr Latham if he would use the same crude language in the tweet if he had his time over again he said: 'Well, it's code for anal sex between blokes'.
'I can tell you, Chris, if someone held a gun to my head and said I had to have anal sex with a bloke I'd vomit.
I'd vomit all over him. And I speak for straight men and this is what makes us straight.'
