BNP Leader slams gays during a highly controversial appearance on the BBC. More than 500 angry protesters jeered and heckled Nick Griffin as he arrived at the BBC for his guest slot on topical debate programme Question Time last night. Met by an equally frosty reception from audience and co-guests alike Griffin was booed and ridiculed throughout the show as he defended his party’s views including those on gays and lesbians. In regards to gay men he said "A lot of people find the sight of two men kissing in public a bit creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that, but that is how a lot of us feel. A lot of Christians feel that way. "I took a party that said that homosexuality should be outlawed, militant homosexuals don't have the right to teach it." During the hour long debate Griffin defended the leader of America’s Klu Klux Klan and said war time leader Sir Winston Churchill was Islamophobic. Announcement of the BNP Leader’s appearance last month caused public and political uproar however the BBC has defended its decision to invite Griffin on the show as “impartial”. As a security measure the debate which normally goes out live at 10:35pm was pre-recorded earlier in the evening. In response to Griffin’s anti-gay comments audience member Beth Mellington Pritchard said “As a homosexual and someone in a civil partnership, the feeling of repulsion is mutual” Oddly, as the show concluded Griffin described the BBC as being part of a “thoroughly unpleasant ultra-leftist establishment that doesn’t want the English to be recognized as an existing people” The British National Party currently holds two seats in the European parliament.
