Turing was a queer?

I’m surprised he wasn’t a double agent.

There was a queer close in the Wehrmacht general staff and he fed the Communists very damning information about German war plans.

A gay Nazi? Nooooooo!!!! /

Turing kept it quiet. After the war, he was arrested for a dalliance with a young man, and he lost his security clearance because of it. He killed himself shortly after that.

Turing was a significant figure, and he deserves to be famous for his very real accomplishments. However, his sort of accomplishments (logic and cryptography) don't generally make front-page news. So, the sad fact is that Turing is primarily famous because the homosexuals turned him into a poster-boy years ago.

Pathetic legacy for a great man.

“Turing was a queer?

Well, he actually was a great thinker, and his work saved who knows how many lives (on all sides) and also saved the world from a lot of destruction.

I’m not in favor of that lifestyle, and I’m certainly not in favor of marriage, child adoption, etc., but these people do exist, I believe most of them were born that way, and in this and other cases, they contribute.

As long as they don’t shove it in my face or try to pass it off as “normal”, I’m OK.
