Who Decides If Gay Is OK? Your Questions Answered

BBC World Service - Over to You, Who Decides If Gay Is OK? Your Questions Answered

The presenter of the 'Who Decides If Gay Is OK?' documentary answers your questions

The presenter of 'Who Decides If Gay Is OK?' answers your questions, and The Proms are back! But how is the BBC World Service tailoring them for a global audience?

Fifty years ago, sex between men was decriminalised in England and Wales. It was a massive turning point for the gay rights movement but in 74 countries it is still a criminal offence to be in a same sex relationship. One such country is former British Colony, Zambia. In the documentary, 'Who Decides If Gay Is OK?', presenter Jo Fidgen asks what brought about the change in the UK and why it has not happened in Zambia, which largely inherited the British legal system. This week on Over To You, she answers listeners' questions about the programme.

Also, The Proms are back! But how have they been tailored for you, a worldwide audience? Producer, Radek Boschetty joins Rajan in the studio to discuss.
