The BBC is taking action over a perceived “heteronormative culture” at the broadcaster by making LGBT reforms.
Language is to be more inclusive, with non-binary pronouns used by BBC staff where appropriate, as part of internal changes to retain staff and “cut ice” with young viewers.
A network of “straight allies” will be set up to advance the interests of LGBT staff, with badges to identify them, according to a BBC report.
Action is being taken over fears that a “heteronormative culture, particularly around language” was developing within the company, and that the environment was not fully supportive of LGBT staff.
