Alan Turing mathematical genius, founder of modern computing and cracker of the Enigma code. Sadly a victim of attitudes of the time and was chemically castrated for being gay.

I recently visited the statue of him in Sackville Gardens in Manchester. It's good to see him being remembered.

It's in the Gay Village in Manchester! I can thoroughly recommend going.
