So the government now has to apologies to people ever prosecuted or treated unfairly under laws which no longer exist?
So when marijuana becomes legal somewhere, the government has to pardon and apologies to all those who were arrested previously? How about those prosecuted for dealing in prescription drugs after those become OTC? What about those who weren't allowed to vote at some point in history? What of those convicted of statutory rape (consensual sex) at 17 then the legal age later lowered to 16. Where does it end?
Those laws that prosecuted Turing were maintained by an elected leadership. The people spoke with their votes and chose those laws. If Turing wanted to live in a society where the people didn't want him, how is that the fault of the existing Government?
I quite find it interesting how this article really tells quite a biased rendition of the facts.
Turing was a sugar daddy to an unemployed teenager 20 years his junior. He called the cops to his house after it was burgled, he admitted to them that he was in a homosexual relationship, he chose 1 year of estrogen shots over jail, an autopsy suggested that he died of inhalation of cyanide from an apparatus for gold electroplating spoons, using potassium cyanide to dissolve the gold, which Turing had set up in his tiny spare room. (suggesting that there was no suicide)
Turing also habitually ate an apple before bed, and it was not unusual for it to be discarded half-eaten. In addition, Turing had reportedly borne his legal setbacks and hormone treatment (which had been discontinued a year previously) "with good humour" and had shown no sign of despondency prior to his death, in fact, setting down a list of tasks he intended to complete upon return to his office after the holiday weekend.
Gay activists are starting to sound like blacks in America. Always taking the victim role and trying to further their agenda by stretching truths, sensationalism, and telling half of the story.
