Pale, Pink and Pansy - Ladies and Gentlemen - the BBC

And the corporation released a statement, saying: "The BBC finds this campaign distasteful, but does not believe the record should be banned.
BBC director general Tony Hall said: "I understand the concerns about this campaign. I personally believe it is distasteful and inappropriate.
"However, I do believe it would be wrong to ban the song outright as free speech is an important principle and a ban would only give it more publicity."
Mr Hall added: "I have spoken at some length with the director of radio, Graham Ellis, and Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper. We have agreed that we won't be playing the song in full - rather treating it as a news story and playing a short extract to put it in context."

Unbelievable!
