BBC children’s television: home of the sexual diversity fairy tale

Children’s network CBBC has defended the airing of a lesbian kiss, saying it is important to ensure that all children are properly represented on its channels.

The BBC children’s network CBBC has defended airing its first lesbian kiss because it “showed children ‘that they can be who they want to be.’” Responding to complaints that the scene in Canadian mockumentary drama The Next Step was inappropriate for younger audiences, the BBC said it was important to ensure that all children were properly represented on its channels. According to The Telegraph they insisted:

‘“This is an important part of our mission to make sure that every child feels like they belong, that they are safe, and that they can be who they want to be.”

CBBC is aimed at 6 to 12-year-olds, and surely most licence-fee payers would prefer the BBC to protect children from inappropriate adult content rather than evangelise on behalf of the sexual diversity campaign. BBC’s responsibility should be to see themselves in the place of parents, developing the imaginations and intellects of children, while shielding them from harmful material. Instead, they seem to see it as their mission to shield other people’s children from the apparently harmful views of their own parents.

Most seriously – and without any debate – they are sending the message that children can be gay, presumably based on the deeply flawed research of Alfred Kinsey, whose Male and Female reports, published in 1948 and 1953 respectively, justified the belief that children are sexually pro-active beings. Kinsey believed that children are naturally bisexual and that repressing their sexuality leads to mental illness. As ascertained in Kinsey, Sex and Fraud: The Indoctrination of a People, by Judith Reisman and Edward Eichel, his beliefs now dominate schools’ sex education, despite the fact that his findings were based on the testimonies of prisoners and child molesters.
