Reader’s comment: LGBTBBC

March 3, 2020

In response to David Keighley: Trump, Sir Cliff and the skewering of the BBC,

Andrew Marr, June 2007: ‘The BBC is a publicly-funded urban organisation with an abnormally large proportion of younger people, of people in ethnic minorities and almost certainly of gay people, compared with the population at large. All this creates an innate liberal bias inside the BBC.’ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6764779.stm

BBC, October 2018: New plans to make the BBC an even more inclusive workplace for LGBT staff
‘Currently 11 per cent of the BBC’s workforce and 12 per cent of its leaders identify as LGBT, the highest representation of any UK broadcaster. Specific recommendations include building a network of straight allies who actively promote the LGBT community in the BBC.’
