Ricky Gervais has defended making jokes about "taboo subjects" after his new Netflix special drew criticism.
US LGBT rights group Glaad labelled the show "dangerous", "anti-gay" and "anti trans" after its release on Tuesday. He said: "I think that's what comedy is for, really - to get us through stuff, and I deal in taboo subjects because I want to take the audience to a place it hasn't been before, even for a split second.'These are just jokes'
However, Glaad took issue with his latest routine, with officials posting on the group's Twitter page: "It's full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes. He also spouts anti-gay rhetoric an spreads inaccurate information about HIV."
