Banned: 2 4 6 8 Motorway!

Tom Robinson Band, Glad to Be Gay (1978) Originally written for a London gay pride parade, this song became a gay anthem after being banned by the BBC.
Telegraph.

Nope, Glad To Be Gay was not banned - it was a b-side on an ep so would not have been played anyway.
And what the fuck is a "gay anthem"?
It may have not been played on account of it being one of the most boring songs in the entire history of music.

PS At a quick glance most of these songs weren't actually "banned by the BBC."
