Yes. One would think that by saving millions of lives with his brilliant code breaking, Turing would have earned a punishment for his homosexuality far less barbaric than chemical castration. His country stabbed him in the back, and he killed himself two years later.

I suspect many geniuses have been killed off by their tribe for being “unconventional”.
