  1. Turing gave us so much, only to lose his own. Self-righteous people kill me! Nothing godly about what these overzealous Christians did to him.

  2. I had absolutely no knowledge of Turing or his matchless contribution to the life I live as an IT professional and ‘addict’ of technology.
    I am eternally grateful to live in a time when judgement on sexuality does not limit or destroy ascension to greatness.
    I am a proud Canadian. My nephew is an openly gay educator who has received national & global acclaim for his contributions to education!
    I cannot fathom what would have been lost had Mark been prohibited from living an authentic life & sharing the gifts God have him!
    Mr. Turing…I am forever indebted to you although I did not know of your amazing life & contribution before tonight!

  3. I love how we're painting this as a damn religious issue instead of pointing out how the medical industry has played a leading role in the conversion of LGBT+ people since the dawn of modern medicine. They continue to attempt to "cure" asexuals of their so-called sexual dysfunction. But sure, let's pretend the Church is the only predator of marginalized people and completely ignore the fact that medical science has pathologized everything from homosexuality to a woman's defiance of her husband. If Christians are brainwashed then so are you.

    • a point needs made well-made. i get sick of the holier than thou attitude, ironically, of atheists – and the fact that everyone assumes the right owns christianity

    • Morticon but it is a religious issue. Medical science does attempt to cure gay people. The attempt is made due to religious people claiming homosexuality is not normal and do.ething has to be done about it. Yet there are some Native American tribes where homosexuality was openly accepted. In these tribes when the men were out hunting and the women were out gathering food it was the homosexuals who watched the children. The Catholic church still condems gay people. We live a block away from a Cathlic Church where in the past 15 years two Priests have been removed for molesting young boys. These Priests are supposed to be teaching our children how to live by Gods word but they are the biggest hypocrites. Did these men get offered to go to jail or get medically castrated? Nope the Catholic church just kept moving them from one parish to another. They kept ruining more young boys lives while preaching if you practice homosexuality you will go to hell.

  4. Edward Burke stated, “This is why Islam is so dangerous to the western way of life. No tolerance for other faiths”. That is the epitome of ignorance & bigotry. Islam is not alone with this atrocious belief and behavior. He intentionally failed to include one of the oldest culprits, “Christianity”.

  5. I'm not trying to diminish Turing's great contribution to allied victory in WWII, but the claim in the article that Turing "actually saved the world from Nazi domination" simply isn't true. The gratest effort in the defeat of nazism was made by the USSR. If you just look at the number of soldiers involved at the eastern front, you will see that it makes western front look like some regional conflict. Roughly 80% of all German WWII loses were on the eastern front. For comparison, on several occasions, during large scale operations, both the Soviets and the Germans had more casualties in one day than US had during the entire WWII ! And it's not just the numbers that matter. Most military historians agree that there were three breaking points of WWII: stopping German advance towards Moscow, breaking the siege of Stalingrad, and battle of Kursk – all three happened on eastern front. Again, Turing's contribution was surely great, and until recently, almost completely neglected, but you've got to give credit where credit is due.

  6. I read this piece a couple of days ago. I never heard of him, but I did some research and found out this. Polish Cipher Bureau broke code first. Second Alan didn't break code by himself he had a lot of help from Bletchly Park. Third he was not arrested for being gay. He was arrested for sodomizing a minor. Alan was forty- yrs old. His supposed lover was just nineteen and law states must be twenty-one back then. So being with a minor and sodomy were both against the law back then. I also found out that burgerly was fake. Alan went to lover and told him I gonna have you arrested the boy was scared and crying so Alan gave the boy a glass of alcohol. They he had sexual relation with the boy again the boy left. Next day Alan took glass with fingerprints on it to police. Alan doesn't seem like such a victim to me but the boy does. If I read something I don't just believe it I go look for truth. Alan might of helped a little with WW2. I do know for a fact the Navajo Code Talkers did help the USA and saved thousand and thousands of human lives in WW2. Some of the code Talkers were just fifteen yrs old. They were honored with medals some fifty- six years later. Just think the schools used to wash their mouth out with soap for speaking their own language and here you got the government asking for their help by using their own language. Wow! Isn't that something. Remember don't just believe me look for yourself.
