Quote:BBC apologises for asking Morocco captain how many of the team are lesbiansThe Independent:
'The BBC has apologised after one of its reporters asked the Morocco captain whether any of the squad
at the ongoing Women’s World Cup are lesbians. Morocco, a Muslim-majority country, are the first Arab
nation to qualify for the World Cup and critics claim the question posed to Ghizlane Chebbak in a
pre-match press conference potentially endangered the safety of the squad.
*Listening to BBC Journalist* "Do you find the description of the object you kick, sexist?"
Same-sex sexual activity between men or women is criminalised in the North African country, with a
maximum penalty of three years’ imprisonment and a fine. This prompted a reporter from the BBC World
Service to ask Chebbak ahead of her side’s opening match against Germany:
“In Morocco, it is illegal to have a gay relationship.
Do you have any gay players in your squad and what’s life like for them in Morocco?”
A Fifa official moderating the press conference intervened, saying: “Sorry this is a very political question
so we will just stick to questions relating to football.” But the journalist pressed on, insisting:
“It is not political, it is about people.
Please allow her to answer.” At which point, Chebbak smiled and shook her head.
The BBC has since apologised for the incident, with a BBC spokesperson telling CNN: “We recognise
that the question was inappropriate. We had no intention to cause any harm or distress.”...'
What's next...? "Do you have any pictures of lesbians we can use on our BBC website?!!
