We recently highlighted the disturbing number of ‘child drag queens’ that BBC News has promoted, but this takes a lack of child safeguarding, even at the BBC, to another level.
A 14-year-old boy has performed as a ‘drag queen’ at Pride events in the past, and has said he would like to star as several drag queens in a film about the history of homosexuality. Somehow, over a year ago, he was not just given a platform to make this film, but Ian McKellen agreed to star in it.
There should already be several red flags waving about this, but BBC Radio Berkshire and BBC News decided to promote the boy (under a picture of McKellen sat next to him on a sofa, touching him).
