BRITAIN'S domestic intelligence agency MI5 is actively recruiting gay spies and wants its staff to be more open about their sexuality, the Financial Times has reported.
The chief executive of Stonewall, a gay rights lobby group, told the business paper it had been hired by the Security Service - better known as MI5 - to help the agency encourage more gay applicants for positions.
"Historically, public services were delivered by the man from the ministry, who was white and heterosexual and got the 4.30pm (train) back to Tunbridge Wells every afternoon,'' Ben Summerskill said.
"This (move by MI5) is recognition that the establishment is changing and slowly becoming more reflective of wider society.''
Britain's intelligence agencies have in recent years attempted to cast a wider net when it comes to recruiting - the country's foreign intelligence service MI6 placed its first-ever advertisement for jobs in a newspaper in May 2007, and in recent years, it has launched its own website.

Looks like a Cambridge Man.
seems the security is not so important any more at MI5.
lets hope we don’t go to “00poof”
Lawrence was an Oxford man; Crowley was a Cambridge man....take your pick.
is there any actual EVIDENCE or is this more homosexual politics claiming the dead. (see George Washington, Abraham Lincholn, on and on and on...)
Lawrence's sexuality has been the conjecture of numerous historians since not long after his death...so much so there's an entire section dedicated to it under his Wikipedia entry. While he denied being a homosexual, he was a known masochist and there is ample testimony he paid people to slap him around...whether this was a sexual thing or strictly a mental discipline/pain control thing can be (and is) debated. Acquaintances have suggested everything from him being homo, hetero, bi or even asexual.
Crowley made no pretenses about his bisexuality.
Queens of England.
No mate. That’s Rule 2. Rule 3 reiterates NO POOFTERS!
Oi Oi Oi....have a wattle!
