Graham Norton gets in trouble for making gay joke

This may sound like an odd headline, since Norton is gay himself, so let's be specific: Graham Norton made a joke about lesbians and got in trouble for it.
He made the joke on his show recently (clip below, with guests Greg Kinnear and Ruth Jones), showing a picture from a web site that he said depicted "strange lesbians" with "bad haircuts." The BBC has told him and the show to stop endorsing stereotypes. You be the judge. [via TV Tattle]
