The BBC ignoring one source of opposition to gay marriage

The BBC report here that there is opposition to gay marriage from 'Several Cabinet ministers' & '34 current and former local (Conservative) party chairmen'. This report details the debate in the Church of Scotland and appears as a headline article on the BBC news website.
Meanwhile this BBC page tells about views of gay marriage amongst:
someone in a civil partnership
Reverend Malcolm Brown, director of mission and public affairs for Archbishops' Council, Church of England
Paul Parker, Recording Clerk for Quakers in Britain
Ed Costelloe, former chairman of Somerton and Frome Conservative Association
Anthony Wells, YouGov associate director
Dr Sharon James, Coalition For Marriage campaign group
  
The BBC do not make space for any reaction to gay marriage from a group that they are normally very keen to listen to. Reading today's Telegraph I think I can see why.

'SIR – We have serious misgivings about the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which seeks to legalise gay marriage.

As imams and Muslim leaders we have a responsibility to fulfil our sacred trust to God and present our view on these proposals on behalf of the Muslim communities we serve.

Marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman that cannot be redefined. We believe that marriage between a man and a woman is the cornerstone of family life and the only institution within which to raise children.

We are concerned that this radical change to the institution of marriage will impact on what is taught in schools. Muslim teachers will be forced into the contradictory position of holding private beliefs, while teaching a new legal definition of marriage. Muslim parents will be robbed of their right to raise their children according to their beliefs, as gay relationships are taught as something normal to their primary-aged children.

We support the numerous calls from other faith leaders and communities who have stood firmly against gay marriage and instead support marriage as it should be, between a man and a woman.'
Here are the signatories to that letter, it's rather long, but not long enough for the BBC to pay any attention:

Yes, indeed. This is the sort of message that should also have come from 500 or more Christian clergy, but they seem to have lost their belief. It ought ro be shocking that the BBC has ignored the letter, but nothing shocks any more so far as the BBC is concerned. This is one of the many egregious examples of news manipulation that we have seen from the BBC - the latest in a continuous stream of lies-by-omission.
