Having got that off my chest I'm perfectly happy for every maligned gay to be pardoned..BUT if it must start somewhere why not with Turing?Why must we seek to downplay his contributions?

no bodies downplaying his contributions Maggie ,it is fitting that his contributions are recognised but it is not fitting imo that everyone else who broke the law in the same way remain criminals whilst Turing is singled out and decriminalised
