| Alan Turing broke the enigma code in World War Two,and devised machines that became programmable computers. Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952, when homosexual acts were still illegal in the United Kingdom. He lost his security clearance, and accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. He commited suicide in 1954, just over two weeks before his 42nd birthday, after biting into an apple laced with cyanide poisoning. gaytoz Alan Turing Gay Page | |
