Hi All,

I saw this story a week or so ago, and am now just getting around to
passing it along.  People in the UK are asking their Prime Minister to
formally apologize for how Alan Turing was treated once it was
discovered that he was gay.  Here is the story:

I've taken a bit of pride knowing that one of the greatest computer
scientists who has ever lived was gay.  It's a tremendous shame how he
was treated.  I hope that a formal apology is issued.

Jim

P.S. If you want more information about him, here's a link to the
Wikipedia page for Alan Turing:
