Flying the flag for equality
The UK armed forces have come second in the first league table of the most gay-friendly militaries in the world.
This was revealed in a brand new index from the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies that ranks the armed forces of 100 countries by their inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender personnel.
The UK narrowly missed out on the top spot, but did receive top scores for putting the gay community at the forefront of all its policies and practices around admission, tolerance, inclusion, exclusion and persecution.
