Because the OP has an axe to grind, and chose to kick off the thread by quoting a pressure group with a similar axe to grind.
The memorial unveiled at Bletchley has nothing to do with anybody's sexuality and it cheapens the massive achievement of those to whom it is dedicated that the occasion is being used as a means of promoting any agenda other than the need to properly recognise the contributions of everyone who played a part in defending their country - especially those whose roles are not the sort that are normally held in high honour, or were of necessity kept out of sight and in secret.
