Alan Turing is hailed as the father of the computer. He cracked the ‘enigma’ code and played a crucial part in the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in WW2.
He was chemically castrated after the war for ‘gross indecency’ on account of his sexuality and was posthumously pardoned by The Queen in 2013.
Alan Mathison Turing
This ‘enigmatic’ man was so alluring
Chemically castrated for being gay
His alternative was a lifelong prison stay
