UK PM to introduce 'Alan Turing' Law to pardon gay men
UK PM Theresa May will introduce the 'Alan Turing' Law, which will give posthumous pardons for gay men convicted under historic indecency crimes. The law will decriminalise around 49,000 people convicted under outdated laws, even though the UK had decriminalised homosexuality by 1967. The law is named after gay mathematician Alan Turing, who built a machine to decrypt Nazi messages.
