BBC under fire after putting transgender man who lived 16 years as a girl on gay dating show I Kissed A Boy

The BBC has sparked furious backlash after putting a biological woman on its gay dating show I Kissed A Boy with critics branding the move ‘homophobic in the extreme’.

The reality show, fronted by pop star Dannii Minogue, features single men looking for love but with a twist. Contestants must kiss before getting to know one another.

But controversy erupted after it was revealed that one of the participants, Lars, was born female and lived as a girl for 16 years despite now identifying as a ‘gay man trapped in a woman’s body’.
