Jonothon Ross - 'more casual BBc Homophobia'

By Ka
Am I  the only person who heard Jonothon Ross's radio show yesterday (9/5/09) and found it really really offensive and homophobic?

Ross (the BBC havent even bothered to edit the offensive remarks out, so you can hear the comments for yourself on  on BBC iplayer at about 1 hour 44 minutes into the show just after a Kylie song ) made some remarks  implying that if little boys wanted a particular toy (something they were giving away in a competition) they were going to grow up gay, and that if your son was going to do this, you better get his
'name down for adoption now' before he grows up and brings his [laugh/ joke] "partner home".

How can these people earn such huge sums of public money to come out with this discriminatory rubbish. The BBC is a public body - for which we have to pay,  they are paid to serve their 'diverse' audience  So how do they get away with this kind of casual homophobia.  It might not be as blatant of Chris Moyles,  but it is just as inappropriate and dnagerous.   If you too find this offensive write to Ofcom and /or the bbc and complain. Dont let the bbc get away with this..........
