Biased BBC Boosts Media-Savvy outed Lesbian Vicky Beeching

The interview on BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme with singer Vicky Beeching, who has just announced that she is a lesbian, is highly revealing both of her campaigning agenda and of politically correct BBC bias.

This interview, which is in the last ten minutes of the August 17th edition, reveals the true translation of the phrase 'coming out as gay' in Miss Beeching's case. It means the announcement of her conversion to the revisionist cause on human sexuality in the Church, for which she is now a public and manifestly media-savvy campaigner.

Highly significantly, Miss Beeching reveals that she chose to come out a month after the Church of England 'said yes to women bishops'. Now that that 'gender-equality' issue is 'done and dusted', she declared.

'the focus of the Church will be on sexuality and I just feel my voice is more useful in that conversation as an out gay person.'

So it is quite clear that her announcement is deliberately timed so as to further the revisionist cause, which she had already chosen to embrace some time before going public.

Miss Beeching revealed that she has received supportive text messages since her announcement from Katherine Welby, daughter of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Miss Beeching declined to disclose Dr Welby's own response because she did not want to 'cause him any trouble'. It is of course to be hoped that Dr Welby has been faithful to his consecration vows and has lovingly called on Miss Beeching to re-embrace the received teaching of the Church and to find her true security and identity in the biblical Jesus Christ.

Susie Leafe, director of the Reform network of conservative evangelical churches in the Church of England, was also interviewed. She both courageously and graciously defended the orthodox interpretation of the Bible as upheld in the Church of England's historic formularies. But Mrs Leafe was quite clearly in a two-against-one situation.

The interviewer asked her whether Miss Beeching would now be 'persona non grata' in evangelical churches. That loaded question revealed flagrant politically correct bias, with its presupposition that biblically-orthodox evangelicals are the bigoted aggressors in this argument who get a kick out of excluding people. That is certainly not true of the loving and evangelistically-enthusiastic Christian fellowships Mrs Leafe so effectively serves.

There are no prizes for guessing who got the last word in the interview, which was in fact a licence fee payer-funded propaganda exercise for homosexualist campaigners in the Church of England, to the grave dishonour of the Lord Jesus Christ and his call to personal holiness.
