University Challenge contestants condemn BBC’s ‘Orwellian’ decision to censor pride badges

Contestants on the long-running BBC quiz show University Challenge have criticised the BBC after the broadcaster digitally edited out badges showing the pride flag.

While filming the episode earlier this year, students from the University of Leicester wore pins bearing the LGBTQ+ pride flag and the bisexual pride flag, as well a rainbow feather, another a symbol tied to the LGBTQ+ community.
