Bbc Defends Stephen Fry

Oh so just because it happened to be from uncouth Fry it is perfectly acceptable?
Note the BBC's response, first they address him as Stephen instead of using his surname as is generally the case with others, then go on to excuse him because that is how he is.
/// “Stephen, whose irreverence and style is extremely well-known to
viewers, ///
And what could be said regarding the Independence's reporting:
/// In happier news, Fry chose the Baftas weekend to make his first public appearance with his new husband Elliott Spencer, who watched on from the wings as the actor won the affections not just of Birdman stars Michael Keaton and Ed Norton, but also a kiss from Cuba Gooding Jr. ///
All lovies together, yuk, please pass the sick bucket.

A surprising number of you appear to differ with the attitude expressed in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, radio version, where there's a whole sequence about how swearing is seen as the sign of "a completely un-***-up personality".
At least Fry didn't stoop to using a word like Belg*um. ("the concept it embodies is so… repugnant that those caught using it, in public, are shunned, imprisoned or, in extreme cases, shot through the lungs."

"Well yes this ticked most of the boxes and has so far attracted almost 100 posts, so this being a debating forum, I think the point of it is clear. "
Ah but have you factored the third law of AB-dynamics where the seriousness of the original question is often inversely proportionate to the number of replies?
Your original post seemed to comprise two things
The claim that the BBC defends the "lefties" and protects them while throwing the "righties to the wolves" - which doesn't seem to have any basis in fact
And the other bit looked suspiciously like homophobia
