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).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.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?
