When lesbian activists invaded BBC TV news broadcast - BBC Stories

Is this in my recs because of the new philosophytube video? The power she has!

Indeed!

[@mikejackson1870]

I remember it very well. It stopped me in my tracks and I just thought 'bloody well done and bloody courageuous'. They are complete heroines. Why isn't it better recorded though, it would make a thrilling movie or documentary.

[@kaijinc3639]

People are right to love anything they want, that is human right, although I’m not gay, but I totally agree with them.

[@ster2600]

No one cares whether you are gay

[@altradecull9149]

@@ster2600 yes they do, they keep trying to legislate against it

[@andrew-ls]

@@altradecull9149 I think what they were getting at was that someone feeling the need to reassure their audience they are not gay undermines their signalling of support.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@altradecull9149I'm gay and all of the bits in the video is wrong. They don't want gay men like me or lesbians to fall in love

[@ColinnOk]

Booan Temple, you have represented our community so well. Thank you for being so courageous and paving the way for LGBT+ rights to be recognised.

"We've got a nutter in the studio" Oh Jimmy Savile was there that day? xD

[@Nick_80599]

Look up Jimmy Savile Spitting image, they joked about sectioning him, everyone knew then he wasn't right

[@itsjemmabond]

They should make a film out of this!

Thank you so much, my good lesbians. How we have needed you.

"BBC MAN SITS ON LESBIAN" "LOONY LEZZIES ATTACK TV SUE" Those headlines though...

[@jasonwood3377]

It was from the Sun newsrag it was to be expected, they had some very bad stories and headlines back then. One that stuck in my mind was Eastbenders after the first gay storyline, written by Piers Morgan no less, he’s sorry now but only because public opinion has changed. Horrible little man and a rag of a newspaper.

[@weasel4060]

Why do people care about who you love so much? It doesn’t effect you get over it.

[@dan292009]

Thank you for what you did x

[@Joyousmicor]

Booan visited new refurbished TV Centre with only 3 studios left unchanged? Nice.

[@honeypeaches7736]

Very admirable! Strong actions needed to be taken back then 🙌

[@chunky16]

The effects of Section 28 are still felt today, and Britain is still behind many other countries in acceptance

[@ItsRickysChannelSHORTS]

I dont thinks thats fair. I would have thought Britain was among the more accepting of countries. The woman in the video even says "was" not "is" when referring to it being "a hostile environment". Yeah there are 'pockets' of Britain that are still homophobic but these pockets exist around the world and there are more accepting people than not.

[@Adeodatus100]

​@@ItsRickysChannelSHORTSSince 2010, the UK has gone from being ranked 1st in Europe for LGBTQ+ people to being ranked 17th.

Hi Lucia, I just uploaded the captions. Hope that helps.

BBC Stories thank you !!! I enjoy this channel so much!

Thanks for your support Lucia.

​@@bbcstoriesthere's no need for homophobia that gay men and lesbians suffered back then

[@chunky16]

I love these women!!!

[@bella-bond]

here from philosophy tube!

[@andipandi5641]

what i remember most about Section 28 was the beeb being brave enough to stick their head way above the parapet and defiantly including a gay story-line in Grange Hill which made a point of portraying homophobic teacher as an ass hole and rather obviously equated homophobia with racism.. totally unlike last night where the BBC are so desperate to maintain the license fee that they showed us a melodrama where the murderous UK Military are selfless heroes and the government policy of spending millions on a nuclear holocaust would be foolish to abandon..

[@originalkingalpha5116]

No.

[@museumoflosttime9718]

Those muffled cries of Red still both inspire and make me laugh, you lot pulled it off...... we didn't think they could do it a second time, but you did, I still can't fathom how brave you all were :-)

[@lemagreengreen]

They're trying again.

[@andybray9791]

Thatcher didn’t want to kill homosexuals luckily, she was constructive

[@Adeodatus100]

Maybe not, but several of her MPs in the 80s seriously wanted gay men put in concentration camps to "stop the spread of AIDS", and a Conservative council leader in Staffordshire said publicly that 90% of gay men and lesbians should be sent to "the gas chambers".

[@rhonahotchkiss3179]

What a shame shame she’s saying ‘LGBT’. This did not affect the T at all and there was no ‘LGBT’ community far less any of the other letters

Jesus Christ is the way, truth and life. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!

[@jasonwood3377]

Because the majority of Christians really have portrayed themselves in a Christlike manner where the LGBT community are concerned haven’t they. Loving your neighbour as yourself hasn’t gone away, maybe focus on that.

[@onelove6971]

@@jasonwood3377 loving your neighbor means sharing the WORD of God as a reminder to all of us. When I share the WORD I preach to myself also because everyone is a sinner.

[@paulcarmichael2368]

People have been saying the kingdom of God is at hand for two thousand years. Essentially this is about control: “yes, life on Earth is crappy but if you knuckle down and down moan and work hard things will be so much better when you’re dead”.
