Essentially, the British government had an institutional rule against hiring gays in the intelligence services, both because they could be targets for blackmail and because they could be, like Burgess, such clever, ruthless, two-faced bitches. Note that they still aren’t recruiting any gays for their CIA equivalent, M16, which means no real life gay James Bonds just yet.
But we love how 365gay uses the term “ring of gay” to describe the cabal of fag spies who worked under Guy Burgess in the 40s… and there must a role for Dame Judi Dench in here somewhere.

So no one is pointing out the fact that it is MI5 and MI6, not M15 and M16?
