What must be the biggest LGBT UK news in years concerned Alison Bailey, a lesbian barrister, who has been allowed to sue Stonewall for allegedly strong-arming her chambers into firing her. The BBC are a Stonewall Diversity Champion, and their crack LGBT reporter Ben Hunte did his bit on a momentous day by interviewing a straght person who likes wearing women’s clothes.
The responses to the Stonewall twitter ad asking for London marathon fundraisers tonight is a joy to behold. Practically everyone has replied with #IStandwithAlisonBailey and some choice comments too. Maybe the tide is turning.
Absolutely - the BBC should be ashamed of their biased coverage. Make sure you complain about the lack of coverage of vitally important LGBT news stories which don’t fit with Stonewall’s vision and with their gender ideology. Complaints are easy to submit at https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints
I asked before about writing to one of the BBC trustees I know personally through my dh. It’s a very sensitive move for me to make for various reasons. I am also struggling because of a personal tragedy as our son attempted suicide in December and has a serious brain injury. I have to balance what I can spend my energy on, but I would like to do it before they step down. My thoughts on what to write whirl around. I thought to lead with the hideous item on BBC3 affirming a young woman who adopts a furry BDSM persona to deal with her self esteem issues then move on to the trans affirming issue.
I would be very grateful if someone here would help me off list write something concise / coherent etc. My dh also works currently with a senior member of the Scot trust (owners of Guardian) , lovely person, but I think that’s a lost cause ..... I care passionately for the BBC and despair at the damage done to it.
I also eagerly checked Penis News for the latest update. Unbelievably there was tumbleweed?! Perhaps reporting on a TV about drag and glitter converse footwear does come first. I’ll wait...
I have used the TT article to chase my local Boroughs' Education Committees, and the Regional Commissioner (North-West London and South-Central England Regional Schools Commissioner’s office). Thank you for flagging this up!

Or you can contact their Newswatch programme which specifically explores issues relating to their news coverage: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qjrk2
Or just tweet Ben Hunte (@BenInLDN) and BBC News (@BBCnews), maybe adding the hashtag #BBCnewswatch
