Finance jobs - Bank named most gay-friendly employer
 Homosexual job seekers may be interested to know that Lloyds TSB has been voted the most gay-friendly employer by the charity Stonewall.
The banker topped the group's 2009 list as the best place for lesbian and gay people to work in finance jobs.
Hampshire Constabulary and Brighton & Hove City Council came second and third respectively.
Eric Daniels, group chief executive, said: "Sexual orientation has been a key diversity priority for Lloyds TSB for a number of years and this accolade is testament to our progress and commitment to this agenda."
The award was decided following the largest ever survey of gay and lesbian employees.
It revealed that employees in the top 25 performing firms were almost ten per cent more satisfied with their workplace than others.
Research by Stonewall suggests gay people "perform much better at work when they can be themselves", its director of workplace programmes, David Shields[,] said.
