So it begins

So I am guessing that chemical castration was the normal punishment to all those arrested for shagging in a park?

Why dont you find the case.

He was not chemically castrated by the UK government, that is just bulltulip.

So, tell me the REAL TRUTH then - what actually happened to Alan Turing?

He killed himself.

Its a sad tale of a man who was mentally ill.

But you can go through British history in the 30s and 40s and identify clearly gay individuals living and operating as obviously gay. Claiming he was killed for his gayness is complete mince.

“ Computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing has been given a posthumous royal pardon.

It addresses his 1952 conviction for gross indecency following which he was chemically castrated.

He had been arrested after having an affair with a 19-year-old Manchester man.

The conviction meant he lost his security clearance and had to stop the code-cracking work that had proved vital to the Allies in World War Two.

The pardon was granted under the Royal Prerogative of Mercy after a request by Justice Minister Chris Grayling.”

What a classic example of Poe's law.
I hope not, but I honestly have no idea if this person is being serious.

The forced sterilisation bit was tongue in cheek. The rest is what I would do if I was in charge.

Buddy, you worship with a Christian sect that thinks dinosaurs lived 20 thousand year ago.

Gross Indecency was catch all that covered child charges and rape.

It's not as simple as just saying "he was gay"
