I had watched a bit on PBS about this rather disgusting travesty of justice a while back. I knew Turing was persecuted for being gay, but I don't recall
him actually being fucking CHARGED and chemically castrated until I read this. Glad someone is finally trying to kick the UK government in the ass and get this
somewhat righted. I don't think they can ever make amends for such a tragedy, but they better fucking try.
