Gay candidates weren't always welcomed into the agency in the past. Many believed their sexual preferences would leave them more vulnerable to blackmail.
Many people still do, because in many cases they still can. If you're gay, but not out to your family and friends, then that makes you a potential blackmail target. It's not the being gay part, per se, it's the secrecy and embarrassment part.

You should check out the spy museum in DC. There is a whole wall dedicated to things spies have shoved up their ass.

Technically correct being the best kind of correct, Bond works for the Secret Intelligence Service (new window) - MI6 is a nickname. But it's a really cool nickname and that's why we don't need something euphemistic like The Company.

It works only if you have the proper security clearance to view it.

We danced all night long, and she called me my dear'
Then she burped real loud, and finished my beer
I looked in her eyes, and then realized (whoops)
She looked really cute
But she was a guy

No - not really. This is really a generational thing. Those in their 20/30s today are completely out to family and co-workers. Those in their 50/60s might still be in the closet and still have potential issues (I've known many a bitter gay 60 year old). But the stigma of being gay is gone in the vast majority of workplaces - especially in government circles so the risk of this being vulnerable to this issue has fallen drastically.

It is pretty funny, especially consideringt hat the museum is geared for kids as well, so you have a lot of parents trying to guide their kids away fromt hat section when they realize what it is.

Nah, it was an https link and fark couldn't retrieve the certificate. They were like "What certificate? We don't have a certificate. You're crazy! There's no-one here and you can't prove nothing."

I love the "blackmail" excuse for not allowing gays to work in intelligence organizations.
The logic goes: You are at risk for blackmail, because if someone finds out you are gay, you can get fired. Therefore we will fire you for being gay.
