The era when gay spies were feared
MI5 has been named the UK's most gay-friendly employer - but it isn't long since same-sex relationships were considered a threat to national security. How did attitudes change?
In 1963 the Sunday Mirror offered its assistance to the Security Service.
"How to spot a possible homo," ran a headline in the manuscript. Below this, for MI5's benefit, was a list of supposed signifiers of male homosexuality ("a queer little wiggle", "his tie has the latest knot", "an unnaturally strong love for his mother").
The pretext for this unsolicited counsel - which now seems clearly offensive - was the case of John Vassall, a gay civil servant who spied for the Soviets under threat of blackmail. A male lover man, the paper's writer said, was a de facto security risk: "I wouldn't trust him with my secrets."
Fast forward 53 years and the service tops Stonewall's 2016 list of the 400 finest places to work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. According to the Times, external, more than 80 of its employees belong to an LGBT staff network.

Mononormativity and Related Normative Bias in the UK Immigration System: The Experience of LGBTIQ+ Asylum Seekers
Introduction
The right of asylum seekers to penetrate and remain in the United Kingdom depends on laws enforced by a range of Government agencies that form up the British immigration system, including United Kingdom Visas and Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement. People’s experiences of this system are strongly affected by their sexuality; indeed sexuality ‘structures every aspect of immigrant experiences’ (Luibhéid 2004, 227). There are particular challenges when people are basing their claim for asylum on the persecution they have faced due to their sexual orientation. This is highlighted by the fact that between 2016 and 2018 the Home Office refused at least 3,100 asylum claims from LGBTIQ+1 people from countries where consensual same-sex acts are criminalised (Grierson 2019).
In this article, I explore how normative understandings of sexuality shape LGBTIQ+ people’s experience of the UK immigration system. By normative, I mean the mainstream and dominant assumptions structured withi
