BBC is “institutionally homophobic”
A PinkNews.co.uk survey has found that 69 per cent of gay respondents think Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles should be sacked over a “homophobic” imitation of gay singer Will Young. The figures come after Chris Smith, the former head of Ofcom, criticised the BBC for allowing Moyles to continue making anti-gay comments. Read more »
Read the OFCOM judgement on Chris Moyles
Ofcom previously published two findings concerning Chris Moyles and the use of
discriminatory/offensive language (Bulletin 56, published 20 March 2006, and Bulletin
62, published 12 June 2006). One case was resolved due to the action of the
broadcaster and one was in breach of the Code. In light of this, Ofcom would remind
the BBC to take particular care [...] Read more »
