An indicted hero
Alan Turing, the math genius who broke Nazi codes during World War II, made a fateful choice in While reporting a burglary to police, he openly said he was in a relationship with another man, then a crime in Britain. This led to his prosecution for “gross indecency,” ended his groundbreaking computer work, and [ ]. For decades, it has puzzled historians. Why, in the course of reporting a burglary to the police in , did the maths genius Alan Turing volunteer that he was in an illegal homosexual relationship?
‘A very camp environment’
Turing died from suicide two years later. More than a century since the birth of mathematician Alan Turing, much has changed within the social, political and cultural landscape of the UK. One of the defining markers of change has been the LGBT+ liberation movement, which began in the s and campaigned for equal rights for the gay community. Turing laid the groundwork for modern computer science. This concept became one of the founding principles of how we understand computation. LGBT+ History Month
Alan Turing was unashamed about being gay but the codebreaking genius died in after consuming cyanide - an act many have linked to his persecution for being a homosexual, writes his. During the s Turing did groundbreaking work on the theory of computing. He invented the concept of the "Turing machine", which is key to the theory of computation.

An indicted hero: honouring Alan Turing as a gay man failed by society | Pride Month Computer Science Maths Social responsibility 18th June Alan Turing () was a mathematician, computer scientist and codebreaker whose work at the British Intelligence Service was instrumental in breaking the German Enigma machine and curtailing. His passion for learning became clear when at the age of 13, the General Strike prevented Alan from attending his first day of school. Determined not to miss it, Alan Turing cycled 60 miles on his bike unaccompanied, stopping overnight at an inn and attending school the next day. Alan Turing
Alan Turing wasn’t just some random name from your high school math textbook. The British mathematician, codebreaker, and computing pioneer didn’t just help crack Nazi Germany’s Enigma. Experts, gathered at a Turing centenary conference in Cambridge, give their views on what his greatest intellectual contributions are. Did Alan Turing's death come as a shock to the Britain of ? 
Motionographer® Interview with Alan Turing
Turing spent his formative years - from 18 to 24 - at King’s, learning it was “perfectly acceptable” for intellectual gay men like him to not hide their sexuality around people in positions of power. As a result, in Turing told the police the suspected burglar was a friend of his male lover. .

Alan Turing
Alan Turing reminds us that authenticity is power, and resilience is a form of rebellion. He showed us that you can be brilliant, gay, and unapologetically yourself — and that those three things. .
