BBC's Big Blunder Backlash

Chris Bryant, homosexual European minister

As previously known through several sources, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) made an unexplainable blunder the other day. Taking a viewer poll on whether or not homosexuals in Uganda should be executed in response to a proposed overseas law that they should indeed be euthanized for their sexuality.

Even more unexplainable, was that a rather high number of viewers voted, yes, homosexuals should be put to death for their lifestyles, and that the law should be put in place in the United Kingdom as well as in Uganda.

One viewer was even reported as having stated “If homosexuality is natural, as we are forced to believe, how can they sustain the species? I suggest all gays are put on a remote island somewhere and left for a generation — after which, theoretically there should be none left!”

Not nearly as surprising as the event itself is the fact that the homosexual community was in a complete state of shock and were livid at BBC for its ‘disregard’ for the homosexual community and the intolerance for the LGBTQ community by posing such a question to the public.

Peter Harrocks, Director of BBC World Service, who has already issued a brief apology, stating that the question was only generated to stimulate conversation on the matter and not to be hateful, now has to answer to millions of viewers about his stations faux-pa, including high ranking British official Chris Bryant.

Bryant, a homosexual European minister was particularly upset at this incident, which he saw as ‘ludicrous’ and ‘insensitive to the gay community.’ He feels that such polls and shared opinions fuel homophobia and are one big step backwards for the progress that the gay community has made.

Bryant plans to write a letter to Peter Harrocks, asking for an in-depth explanation as to what exactly the station was thinking when they broadcast such a controversial and offensive topic. “I will be asking him in the strongest terms to explain,” said Bryant.

People all around the world are still trying to understand what could prompt such an act of disregard from the station. Harrocks plans to make another statement about the blunder sometime in the near future, hopefully answering the questions of millions.
