Consultation on the BBC's Portrayal of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Audiences

Do you have views on how the BBC portrays lesbian, gay and bisexual people?

The BBC is currently taking an in-depth look at how its services reflect the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people as part of both its wider Diversity Strategy and its responsibilities under the Charter to reflect the diversity of the nation.

We are conducting audience research to gain a deeper understanding of how all audiences view how we portray lesbian, gay and bisexual people across our services.

We also want to hear from people directly about how well you think we are portraying lesbian, gay and bisexual people's lives.

Your views will inform a Working Group of programme makers, commissioners and executives from across the BBC who will make recommendations to the BBC's Diversity Board, chaired by Mark Thompson, on future editorial policy and practice in this area.

Thank you for your contribution. The closing date for this consultation is 2 April. We will report back in the summer.
