A hero, but also a homosexual

How one of the worlds great minds was treated because he was different. Things are changing but it's a slow process. A leading code breaker from WW2 , Alan Turing, was later treated like a criminal because of his sexual preference. He was forced to submit to horrible treatments because of his crime of being "different"`. He finally got his pardon decades after he committed suicide. Until we are all free, we are none of us free.
