It’s all part of a new set of “diversity” reforms at the public broadcaster. The new portrayals of LGBT characters will be “incidental” — which means that their sexuality will not be the focus of the storyline or news item.
But it’s not just an on-screen effort. Off-air, LGBT staff will be encouraged to “bring their whole self to work” and be open about their sexuality with their co-workers — something which sounded a bit “creepy” and weird to some who reacted to the news on Twitter. Others found it contradictory that sexuality would be “incidental” on-air, but something to be discussed at work off-air.
BBC staff have been told to use non- binary pronouns and heterosexual emplyees are to wear pro-LGBTQ-bagdes to ensure that the corporation does not develop a “heteronormative culture”. Since when does companies ask employees about their sexuality? Creepy.

Slight contradiction between @bbc's new supposedly LGBT-friendly "bring your whole self to work" (#hokeycokey) policy and their "let's not stereotype gay people" warning. Apart from sexual extroverts, who wants to display their sexuality in the workplace? https://t.co/PwjFh028D3

Off-screen and off-air, LGBT staff will be encouraged to "bring their whole self to work" and be open about their sexuality. - Sexuality is a private thing. https://t.co/PPgBYptIjG

The BBC wants its straight staff to wear a badge that identifies them as straight and allies of the LGBTIQ community. I suppose they’ll have to wear badges with their religion on it, next. Where will this madness end? https://t.co/6WyRX2DH9J
