| Chronic victim of Captain Tpyo Regular Member   Gender: I don't want one. Orientation: Bisexual Out Status: Internet does not count. Location: Klein sexuality bottle Posts: 201 Join Date: Dec 2011 |  Campaign to pardon Alan Turing BBC article with some info on what it's all about and some info on how these petitions work: BBC News - Petition to pardon computer pioneer Alan Turing started The petition (only signatures from UK residents or citizens are accepted) https://submissions.epetitions.direc...etitions/23526 ... Better later than never, of course, and the whole "pardon" thing implies he did something wrong in the first place, but it's still a worthwhile cause in my opinion. And this is the first e-petition I ever signed with non-fake data. What was done to him was one of the more shameful things of XX century, it's not even a gay rights issue, it's being grossly indecent to a national and world hero.

Without this incredible man, WW2 could have turned out very differently. An apology from the PM simply isn't enough. The wiki page is also very helping if information hunting, if anyone is interested in his life and his work. Alan Turing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
