And yes, all you "gays don't contribute to society" trolls, the man was GAY and played a major part in ENDING THE SECOND WORLD WAR.

I don't understand what, in the name of Zeus's butthole, a man desiring to get it on with another man, has to do with the intelligence inside his brain. Does foreign penis make a male smarter or what?

For what it's worth, machines will never think, until they can laugh at a collection of subtle but funny jokes. Like,

"John Kerry walked into a bar and sat next to a horse drinking a beer. The horse looked at him and asked, "Why the long face?"

There's "gays don't contribute to society" trolls? That's crazy. That would be ignoring important gays throughout history like Oscar Wilde, Tchaikovsky, and I I always had suspicions about Mister Rogers.

I think you're being over-sensitive. I don't think "gays don't contribute to society" trolls are a big problem. I never even see them.

BTW, interesting article. I hadn't heard of that guy. Thanks.

The emphasis on Turing's sexual orientation is a disservice to his achievement. Should we begin noting Franklin or Edison's hetrosexuality with every reference.

Turing's real problem is that it WAS scandalous. As a middle-aged man, he was into male teenagers. So given he was a known ephebophile, it's odd that the gay lobby parades this guy out for PR so much. They always leave out those little devil-in-the-detail things, though, I notice, when it comes to things like this.

The treatment of Turing BECAUSE OF his sexual orientation was a disservice to his achievement. Ignoring that is a disservice to history.

We need to go back in time and find out how many famous homosexuals were picked on?

If it was relevant to his life (and/or death), it's relevant. Not all homosexuals were so wantonly harassed despite making a contribution to society that make each stupid post you make possible.

Why do people get upset or outraged when an individual's sexuality is brought up? Do you people raise the same objections when people say Obama was the first black president or Emelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo non-stop across the Atlantic or Hattie McDaniel the first African American to win an Academy Award or Edith Wharton being the first woman to win the Pulitzer for fiction?

Of course not. I have never heard anyone make an objection for examples involving race or gender. Why make a fuss over sexuality?

That is a rhetorical question. We know why people object when bringing up homosexuality.
