The Man Who Made the UK Say “I’m Sorry for What We Did to Turing.”
(Disclaimer: I'm an openly gay man working in technology).<p>A part of me dislikes how Alan Turing was given a pardon and apology. It's like they said it was wrong to persecute a gay man for being gay, but only if you help invent the computer and help defeat the Nazis.<p>What about all the other gay men persecuted under the same law? Why do they not get a pardon/apology? Do we have to help stop evil genocidal dictators before we get the same respect?
