Apology Sought on Behalf of Gay Scientist/Hero

[amedia]

Very interesting article here on CNN about a petition seeking an apology from the British government for its shameful treatment of Alan Turing, a computer scientist who helped crack the Enigma code. He should have been recognized as a war hero; instead, he was prosecuted for having a homosexual relationship and subjected to chemical castration, which led to his suicide at the age of 41.

I rarely sign online petitions, but I'm going to sign this one (be careful which link you follow from the article; if you're outside Great Britain you need to sign the international version).
