It is interesting. When I was younger he was mentioned often. Then, when his sexuality came back into the conversation, he was muted. I knew his name in my youth but his sexuality later in life.
I knew about Alan Turing because of my degree in Computer science. He also developed the "Turing Test" which was the first attempt to determine if machine responses were intelligent.
The Imitation Game is a fantastic movie! And I too had never heard of him until I saw the movie. He saved MILLIONS of lives and was treated like a degenerate. How are we going backwards so quickly???
