Then it's time something was done to ensure that those who have had to battle to get hard earned rights, don't have that questioned and controversy or deliberate offence raised to fuel more discord or prejudice against groups.

The only reason this awful woman is saying this as she did, is her own prejudice against anyone being of the LGBT communities.

It's because 2 people of the same sex are paired together in an entertainment show.

Are you trying to say she's right to fuel the still very sadly in my view, prejudice against LGBT rights and those individuals.
I personally don't think you are myself.

However, I see no reason to dredge up this woman and her worrying religious bigotry and personal prejudice against LGBT rights, which she's never supported.
To present that as news or relevant in a public service so called newspapers or any other outlet.

Just don't give these, as reece termed her, prehistoric bigots any platform.

I would claim to hold to Christian beliefs myself,I know one thing, were I to enter a church where Widdecombe was, I'd leave however.
Because she uses her severe more old testament views,as to her lgbt bigotry and prejudice.
Not thinking of the possible consequences of her words said publicly.

The publications and media that give her that platform are equally responsible for trying to sow more discord.

She singled out the 2 participants because of one thing only, they were competing and are a same sex pairing, which she says families don't want to see.
For me that's indefensible 100%.

So she'd have that pairing out of Strictly.
That's the undercurrent to her comments and personal prejudice.
That would be her aim.
Sending her hateful message to families that she believes they shouldn't support a same sex couple dancing on Strictly.
With sickeningly media allowing her to make her ugly bigoted view too.

I think that's wrong, wholly wrong.
