BBC claims Pride is not banned, but here& #39;s the @bbcpress release.
It& #39;s only ok for those in current affairs if the event is & #39;celebratory& #39; NOT if it could be & #39;deemed political or controversial& #39;. Staff are warned to take & #39;due care& #39;. Basically that& #39;s a ban on fighting for rights.

There are many & #39;contested issues& #39;. Until 5 years ago it was contested whether we could even get married. LGBT+ education in schools is still contested. Trans rights are contested and remain hugely limited. Just think - if I worked in BBC Press - this tweet would get me sacked.

So basically, go along, have a drink see your friends, but don& #39;t say anything, chant anything, carry any banners, or think anything. If you work for the BBC, you cannot fight for your rights as a member of a marginalised group. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54749024">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ente...

Meanwhile the Director General of the BBC can use dismissive right wing terms like & #39;virtue signalling& #39; and suggest minority rights protected by The Equality Act are & #39;contested& #39; because they are not delivered in practice. To be honest, bias is showing right at the very top.
