Even as Great Britain celebrates the accomplishments of Alan Turing’s genius in developing early computers that helped the Allies win World War II, the British House of Lords refused to give a posthumous pardon to the scientist. In 1954, Turing was convicted of homosexuality and chemically castrated.
Wow, I am legitimately ashamed of my government right now.
