CBC's Robert Fisher Criticized Over Wynne 'Lifestyle Choice' Comment On-Air

UPDATE: Fisher apologized for his remarks Friday morning on CBC Radio's Metro Morning. Fisher said that he misspoke and meant no offense to the Premier.

There is no one classier here than @RobertFisherCBC. That was heartfelt, and difficult. And appreciated.

CBC News reporter Robert Fisher just referred to Kathleen Wynne's "lifestyle choice." Twice. Being gay is not a lifestyle choice. #ONpoli

@CBCOmbudsman: can you address @Kathleen_Wynne's sexuality being referred to by the CBC as a "lifestyle choice"? #ONPoli cc @ItsRyanClayton

.@RobertFisherCBC I found your "lifestyle choice" comment wrt Premier Wynne offensive & condescending. Please learn the correct language.

Hey reporters. It is 2014. Sexuality isn't a "lifestyle choice."

Still haven't heard a correction or apology from @RobertFisherCBC for his pre-historic "lifestyle choice" flub. #CanQueer#VoteON#fb

Dear CBC, I had bacon with breakfast. That was a "lifestyle choice". Wynne's sexuality isn't. #onpoli

I think it is important for @RobertFisherCBC know that 'lifestyle choice' is not an acceptable way to describe sexual orientation. #cbc
