MI5 becomes gay-friendly employer

BRITAIN’S domestic spy agency MI5 has been named as one of the country’s most gay-friendly employers for the first time.

MI5 was ranked 62 out of 100 for being one of the best employers for lesbian, gay and bisexual staff, according to a list compiled by the gay and bisexual right charity Stonewall.

Ernst & Young topped the list, which is based on a confidential survey of more than 7,500 lesbian, gay and bisexual employees.
