2025年的GB News笑话将LGBTQ 包容与恋童癖联系起来, 引起71 000起投诉, 导致Ofcom违反裁决, A 2025 GB News joke linking LGBTQ+ inclusion to paedophiles drew 71,000 complaints, led to an Ofcom breach ruling, but no penalty after an apology.

2025年1月,英国新闻报道的喜剧演员乔什·霍维 (Josh Howie) 发表一篇文章,声称在某些宗教背景中完全包容LGBTQ+群体,包括小孩,引起了倡导团体和监管机构的批评. A January 2025 GB News segment featuring comedian Josh Howie sparked over 71,000 complaints after he claimed that full LGBTQ+ inclusion in certain religious contexts “includes paedos,” prompting criticism from advocacy groups and regulators. Ofcom裁定这项评论违反广播标准,因为其极具攻击性和有害性,尽管在Howie在后续节目中道歉并澄清其意图后,没有施加任何制裁。 Ofcom ruled the comment breached broadcasting standards for being highly offensive and harmful, though no sanction was imposed after Howie apologized in a follow-up show and clarified his intent. 监管者指出,观众不清楚背景情况,但认为道歉已足够。 The regulator noted the context was not clear to viewers, but deemed the apology sufficient. 英国新闻社认为这些言论不是一种侮辱, 并突显了该节目的讽刺语气, GB News maintained the remarks were not meant as an insult and highlighted the show’s satirical tone, while acknowledging the comment caused undue offense. 这起事件重新引发了对有害的陈规定型看法和广播机构在公众言论中的责任的辩论。 The incident renewed debate over harmful stereotypes and broadcasters’ responsibility in public discourse.
