Visited the Alan Turing memorial in Manchester this morning before heading back to London. This man is a true hero of mine. His memorial is also a painful reminder of how cruel “the people” can be. This man arguably shaved two years off of a world war and saved an estimated 14 million lives. Yet, due to his homosexuality, he was convicted then chemically castrated. This ultimately led to his suicide. It took until the year 2013 before he was posthumously pardoned by her royal highness EIIR. We still have a long way to go. Alan, Thank you.
