This brought vigorous condemnation from Welsh politicians and LGBT campaigners, including a response from Stonewall Cymru.[2] Weeks later, on 23 February she appeared as a guest on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, for a feature discussing 'the existence of bisexuality', in which her staunch reiteration of her viewpoint dominated the discussion.
