Can I just go around shouting ALAN TURING ALAN TURING at everyone ever who says that the contribution of gay people to history is irrelevant, until they learn?
watch Derek Jacobi in 'Breaking the Code' play about Turing and how he was forced female hormones instead of prison... Yet he was a major reason how we won the battle of Britain (he invented the machine that broke the enigma code and often thought to be the beginning of modern computers). I live not far form Bletchley Park where it all happened and mean to go this summer.
Did you see that I commented in a recent post about his being the first famous figure I recall learning was gay? And I was 19. And I had to learn it from a play I took myself to.
