Alan Turing? Alan “I was a major key to winning World War 2 and yet they still chemically castrated me in 1952 as an alternative to imprisonment as a punishment for ‘homosexual acts’” Turing? The guy who died at 41 years old and never got even a peep of an apology and whose government only apologized in 2009? The guy who queen Elizabeth II only pardoned four years later in 2013?
This guy did so much for the world and then they threw him in the garbage because he was gay.
It's strange how many could shrug off the genocidal crimes of Nazi scientists, all while doing this to one of the creators of modern computing just for acting a bit gay... Condoning murder while condemning love...
