 Britain's equivalent of our FBI, M15, is contracting with the LGBT rights group Stonewall to actively recruit from the lesbigaytranny population for positions in domestic intelligence. The move marks a decided shift from longstanding anti-gay policies within the British intelligence community that largely stemmed from something we missed in our history classes called The Burgess Affair, involving a gay spy from the 1940s named Guy Burgess, employed by the Russians, who put together a ring of upper crust gays from across Europe who likely contributed to the deaths of almost a dozen Western agents during the Cold War (we'd bet money there is a film script in the making).
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.
