What they did to Turing, who apparently only had consensual sex with other adults, was terrible. Turing made major contributions to early computer science. His contributions to the Enigma solution saved many thousands of lives, thousands of them American.

Killed himself by eating a poisoned apple (probably after watching Disney’s Snow White). His sentence in his homosexual conviction was to be given estrogen, until his breasts grew.

As a professional mathematician he
(1) Proved that any problem that could be solved by mathematics could be solved by a machine that could read, write, and perform logical operations AND, OR, and NOT.
(2) Helped break German ENIGMA codes (British “ULTRA”).
(3) Worked on first British computer COLOSSUS” which used mercury delay lines as memory.
(4) Worked on modern semi-digital telephone encryption devices.
