THE BARMY BBC’S NON-BINARY RACCOON!

News

Dear marriage supporter,

If we watch any live TV in the UK, on whatever channel, we don’t have any choice about paying for the BBC – we must pay the licence fee.

That’s what makes it especially galling that the national broadcaster continues to push contentious LGBT ideology. Did the BBC not get the memo about the massive pushback against transgenderism? Did its executives not read the Cass Review, which found a lack of evidence for affirming children and their gender-confusion?

It seems not. Worse, the LGBT propaganda is now finding its way into the BBC’s children’s programmes.

Last month parents were alarmed to find that the BBC preschool cartoon Hey Duggee was “subtly promoting gender ideology” after an episode used gender-neutral pronouns (“their”) to refer to a raccoon character.

It was immediately obvious to parents that the character was being portrayed as ‘non-binary’, confusing the show’s very young viewers. The BBC insisted that: “Wren the raccoon is not a non-binary character”. But why then use the pronoun ‘their’ when all the other characters use ‘he’ or ‘she’? It seems that as well as pushing the agenda, the BBC is unwilling to be honest about it.

Parents shouldn’t have to worry about what their children will see in children’s TV programmes. But the BBC is far from alone in pushing gender ideology and other harmful ideas to younger and younger audiences. Disney, for instance, is much further down that road, and has been paying for it with poor ratings and weak sales.

Unlike Disney, the BBC does not need to be troubled by low viewing figures as it gets its funding either way. All the more reason it’s crucial that C4M supporters join with others in telling the BBC and our political leaders that we won’t put up with this dangerous nonsense being pushed on us and our children any longer.
