Being gay didn't contribute to his death. How the state treated him when they found out did. Anytime his name comes up I think about how many horrible people there are in the world who just can't let others be what they are . Fanatics are somewhat evil by nature.
He ended WW2 at least half a year earlier than it would have.
He saved hundreds of thousands of lives, maybe millions.
Then he returned home to England as a war hero, but was instead exiled and chemically castrated for being a homosexual.
Not much later he committed suicide.
It was Alan that first opened my eyes as a child to the senseless violence committed against LGBTQIA+
Every June 23rd I make sure to remember him and all he has done for humanity.
Rip Alan Turing, the father of computer science, i love you.
