    Sue Lawley just carries on calm and collected with the 'I'm sorry for the noise but we have rather been invaded but I'll just ignore it and carry on' attitude.

      Nothing would stand in the way of Witchell delivering the news: presenter strikes, power cuts, lesbian protesters, grumpy Prince Charles on a mountain. All except the arrival of Meghan's baby, but some believe the facts at his disposal were sketchy, and so his conscience was scrambled.

You can see their idiot thinking here. So they simply ignored lesbians. They were never included in the laws. Because men have a penis and can fuck other men, that is why the "buggery" laws were brought in by King Henry VIII.
