He ended WW2 at least half a year earlier than it would have.

He saved hundreds of thousands of lives, maybe millions.

Then he returned home to England as a war hero, but was instead exiled and chemically castrated for being a homosexual.

Not much later he committed suicide.

It was Alan that first opened my eyes as a child to the senseless violence committed against LGBTQIA+

Every June 23rd I make sure to remember him and all he has done for humanity.

Rip Alan Turing, the father of computer science, i love you.
