If we watch any live TV in the UK, on whatever channel, we don’t have any choice about paying for the BBC – we must pay the licence fee.
That’s what makes it especially galling that the national broadcaster continues to push contentious LGBT ideology. Did the BBC not get the memo about the massive pushback against transgenderism? Did its executives not read the Cass Review, which found a lack of evidence for affirming children and their gender-confusion?
It seems not. Worse, the LGBT propaganda is now finding its way into the BBC’s children’s programmes.
Last month parents were alarmed to find that the BBC preschool cartoon Hey Duggee was “subtly promoting gender ideology” after an episode used gender-neutral pronouns (“their”) to refer to a raccoon character.
It was immediately obvious to parents that the character was being portrayed as ‘non-binary’, confusing the show’s very young viewers. The BBC insisted that: “Wren the raccoon is not a non-binary character”. But why then use the pronoun ‘their’ when all the other characters use ‘he’ or ‘she’? It seems that as well as pushing the agenda, the BBC is unwilling to be honest about it.
