FOR decades the gay community has been shunned by the security services, along with women and other minorities.

But now in a big recruitment drive, M15 wants to broaden the range of UK society it serves, and they have finally realised that to access this diverse society it needs members of that society working for it.

I knew that all that hard work in the gym would eventually pay off, and I could one day parade my Daniel Craig style six pack and Prada sunglasses in exotic locations around the world, whilst getting paid a decent salary for it – not!

If it’s anything like Spooks on TV though I don’t think I could handle it personally.

Seriously though, I’m pleased to hear that M15 is working with Stonewall, the organisation which campaigns for equality for gay people, to create a workplace environment which is supportive of gay people, and I feel it’s long overdue.
