“It’s Your Call” is a call-in Christian TV program which runs on CITS-TV (CTS Ontario) After receiving complaints that some of the comments were homophobic, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (Ontario Regional Panel) held that some of its episodes were discriminatory on the basis of sexual orientation.
Comments and topics in the episodes included characterizing homosexuals as violent and destructive to society, of indoctrinating children and of having a hidden agenda. Changes to the school curriculum of the Toronto District School Board were also misrepresented.
The Council found that the episodes contained abusive and unduly discriminatory comments that violated the Canadian Association of Broadcaster’s Code of Ethics and its Equitable Portrayal Code in four of the six CITS-TV broadcasts.
The decision of the council was issued on August 29, 2012.
