Home Office tops Stonewall’s 2011 list of gay-friendly employers
Stonewall has announced its Top 100 Employers 2011, showcasing Britain’s best employers for gay staff. It names the Home Office as the best place to work for lesbian, gay and bisexual people. In second place is Lloyds Banking Group and Ernst & Young comes third.
