Back to that email from Ian Prince. Near the end he points to what he says is the extensive amount of support for LGBT issues on wider BBC output aimed at an older audience than CBBC, and he gives examples of BBC Teens and Onelife websites:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/teens/
and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onelife/personal/relationships/gay.shtml

Here is part of the BBC's extensive LGBT support from the Onelife website as at today 7 January 2006.

The UK doesn't recognise same sex partnerships in law except in certain situations. Currently, same sex couples can't marry or register their partnership in a way that would give them legal status....

Other, everyday ways in which lesbian and gay couples are treated differently from heterosexual couples in the UK include:

Discrimination in the workplace

There is currently no specific law to protect people in the workplace who may be suffering discrimination because of their sexuality, though this is set to change in 2003....

Pension schemes....

Being next of kin....

In fact, it's a catalogue of out-of-date information.
