Queer Codes: Gay Men in the Civil Service
In this fascinating blog, Dr. James Southern, a penner and researcher for the UK government, provides some startling insight into discriminatory policies which served as the basis of an official bar on lgbtq+ men working as British diplomats that lasted until 1991.
The “Spotting a Homosexual Checklist”: Precarious Professional Identity in the Diplomatic Service
Diplomats, at least in the arcane realm of international politics, are putatively a personification of the nation states they represent. In the case of British diplomats, when an ambassador performs their duties overseas they officially do so on behalf not of the Prime Minister nor any elected official, but of the sovereign – the supposed spiritual and cultural embodiment of national identity.
At the alike time, diplomats are professional civil servants.

Admiral: a cut above the rest when it comes to supporting their LGBTQ+ and Neurodiverse colleagues
I chose Admiral as an employer because I knew they were a cut above the rest when it comes to supporting LGBTQ+ and Neurodiverse colleagues and that the opportunities on offer here would be astonishing.
