BBC is still homophobic just as pink news avoids anything negative about the Tories. Cameron will stop funding Muslim orgs if they are misogynistic but no mention of homophobic and no mention of it here. Shameful and all for advertising revenue

She’s gorgeous. Another Beeboid though who worked for a left wing political party and lives in north London, what a surprise!

Well, its not like this is news… No, our lives shouldnt be. Like someone said above, BBC or no other is reminding us who is straight. But Jane’s style is what I respect. My respect or perspective of her doesnt change a dime… Surprised some people on here are saying how there’s something about her… come off it Mr. Thats more homophobic than homophobia. Jane doesnt deserve such crippled sentiments.

As for the BBC, I know more gay men and women there than straight people. Regardless of BBC seeming homophobic, their gay staff have the world of freedom of expression even at work.

Oh, @Vicki, I suppose the guy you talked about is gay and if not about already. Good luck to us for more steps forward this year. The fight continues

My favourite Jane Hill clip:

She cracks as she reads a story about the safety of beanbags.

Well done Jane for coming out and Mavis is a great name for a dog! But you need a cat called Rita.

I’ve always been charmed by this woman. There’s always been something about her that has got me. I’ve always detected some kind of real strength in her. Little did I know how gutsy she is!

What wonderful news for New Years Eve! Hang in there, Jane!

Thanks and good luck!

What about the male news presenter on BBC news 24 who has the permatan and is always pouting to camera he must be gay.

I wish her and Sara the very best.
- I hope that many audience members look at her and start to think long and hard about all those gay stereotypes. She is in the perfect position… gorgeous and proud of who she is (if there is, in fact, a difference.)
