Complaints have flooded in to media watchdog Ofcom after the BBC broadcast an interview with a homophobic spokesperson for the Christian Voice.
The interview with Stephen Green was used during a bulletin reporting on the news that Elton John and David Furnish are now parents.
Green said: “This isn’t just a designer baby for Sir Elton John, this is a designer accessory.
“Now it seems like money can buy him anything, and so he has entered into this peculiar arrangement. The baby is a product of it. A baby needs a mother and this seems an act of pure selfishness to deprive a baby of a mother.”
So far Ofcom has received almost 100 complaints against the broadcast. Complaints have also been sent directly to the BBC, but a figure for these has not been published.
Ofcom is now currently considering if the news programme breached any broadcasting codes.
Green has previously spoken out about gay rights and individuals, describing openly gay rugby player Gareth Thomas as a "wicked" role model for children.
