NOTE: Because TSCC has spread so many lies about gays, I some times (usually in June, Pride Month) post some bit of gay history to, hopefully, help RfMers get a more balanced perspective of gays and gay history.
Alan Turing, Considered the father of computer science and artificial intelligence by many, myself included. Turing was also an important code breaker during WWII. "He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_TuringTuring's accomplishments should afford him a celebrated place in human history, but it seems he was homosexual.
In 1952 while police were investigating a robbery at his home, Turing acknowledged having a homosexual relationship with one of the suspects. This acknowledgment lead to the arrest and conviction of Turing for gross indecency. Turing chose chemical castration rather than imprisonment. Turing lost his security clearance and the treatment caused him to grow breasts.
On 7 June 1954, Turing ended his life by eating a Snow White apple (poisoned).
