Petition for a posthumous apology for Alan Turing

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

all the above are singing from the same hymn sheet in the first place, it's policy... or the highway

happy now?
Fair enough.

I did wonder. But was too lazy to check.

Did you know the Victorians considered homosexuals Sexually Insane? :?
You didn't hear of the Lavender Scare?

I suppose the travesty of Turin's case resulted from it.
