The BBC have, thus far, refused to even acknowledge that we have a complaint. 135,000 voices and the chorus of anger from the LGBTI community has been completely ignored.
To add insult to injury a few days ago the BBC have suspended Andy West, a journalist based in Northern Ireland for saying that he was "ashamed" by his employers actions. He continued, "My employer is hurting me and other gay people by celebrating someone who considers me no better than a paedophile".

A BBC which refuses to act let alone condemn Fury's deeply discriminatory views and yet is quick to suspend employees who complain about what they have done.
Today it has been revealed that Tyson Fury was not added to the shortlist by the panel of judges, but by BBC executives!
Please share the petition by email, on facebook and twitter. If each of you encourage just one other person to sign we will double the number of signatures and keep the pressure up on the BBC.
The BBC's treatment of our concerns have been nothing short of a disgrace.
I've written a blog post about this issue:http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/scott-cuthbertson/tyson-fury-petition_b_8783406.html?utm_hp_ref=uk
