Military recognised in Stonewall’s top 100
The Royal Navy, British Army and the RAF have all been recognised as top employers for lesbian, gay and bisexual staff, Stonewall announced yesterday.
In only its second year of recognition, the Army has climbed into the top 50 employers, securing position 46 on Stonewall’s workplace equality index.
This significant improvement reflects the progress that has been made in advancing diversity and inclusion right across the military.
The Royal Navy moved to rank 56, up from 79 last year, and the Royal Air Force secured position 91 to also feature in the top 100.
The improvements have placed the entire armed forces in the most gay-friendly list of workplaces in the UK for the very first time.
The announcement comes just days after the Ministry of Defence marked the 15 year anniversary of lesbian, gay and bisexual men and women serving openly in the military.
