Britain’s Security Service, MI5, has been included in a lobby group’s top 100 employers for homosexuals for the first time.
MI5, which is tasked with protecting the UK against threats to national security, pays for a small number of homosexual employees to attend leadership training with the aim of preparing them to apply for the top jobs.
Around 100 employees at the organisation belong to a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) group.
