An all-LGBT team would be as divisive as, say, deliberately choosing a team on grounds of race. In general, though, Brian is right to be suspicious of the BBC.

Is that because the BBC paid for it to be? <i>"This is a sponsored feature, paid for by the BBC."</i> Can we decide for ourselves what is an important LGBT news story not have it decided for us?

“This is a sponsored feature, paid for by the BBC.”

Can we decide for ourselves what is an important LGBT news story not have it decided for us?

Where DOES it come from? On this occasion, though, I'm inclined to agree. This looks like an attempt to round up a team of token LGBT's to make them look nicely all-embracing of cultures. I'm extremely cynical. Brian, one day we really must have a chat about your antipathy towards the BBC. Where DOES it come from? On this occasion, though, I’m inclined to agree.
