BBC bosses have sparked outrage by broadcasting a historic film presented by a notorious child sex campaigner and have refused requests to remove it from the internet.

The documentary is presented by Ian Dunn, one of the founders of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), which campaigned to legalise sex with children.

It is one of 30 archive films on the BBCs website telling the history of the gay rights movement.

The 30-minute documentary Glad To Be Gay? portrays Dunn as a legitimate gay rights activist and makes no reference to his role in setting up the reviled group.

Victims of child abuse described as horrifying the decision to upload the film.

When The Mail on Sunday contacted the BBC to point out the documentary was causing offence, the broadcaster refused to take it down on the grounds that it is a significant work on the history of gay rights.
