LGBT staff takes over BBC? The channel’s management responses claims

The BBC employs a disproportionate amount of LGBT people and bases its employment quota on the notoriously flawed Kinsey report, it has emerged.

A freedom of information request, seen by The Christian Institute, reveals that 11.5 per cent of BBC bosses and 10.6 per cent of staff are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual. This is despite the fact that only 1.7 per cent of the UK population is lesbian, gay or bisexual according to the latest study by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The number of people who have obtained a gender recognition certificate to change their legal birth sex is 4,500 – around 0.007 per cent of the UK population.

The BBC response claims that there is “no comprehensive survey on the LGBT population” and cites a report by Alfred Kinsey as evidence that the figure could be as high as ten per cent.

Kinsey’s figures on homosexuality, which were obtained in the 1940s and 50s, have been largely discredited. A Christian Institute report from 1998 shows that his studies had a “massive margin of error” because of the “bias” present in the groups of people he studied.
Some 25% of his sample was prisoners and many of his “subjects” volunteered after attending his lectures on sex.
