Perhaps this is hopeless naivety but I’d always assumed the legal profession was very gay-friendly. Having a little more flair and glamour than accountancy and a lot less machismo than banking, law always seemed a fairly hospitable place for the lesbian and gay community (though I’m not sure about the transsexuals that overly-literal law firms insist on putting in their LGBT groups).
And that’s just the solicitors – considering the attire advocates have to wear in court, a laid-back attitude to your sexual orientation has to be a plus for the Bar.
