Real Pride Reveals: Alan Turing's Secret Legacy

He didn't work alone but his contribution was unique. I'm pleased that he's honoured on our £50 note now.

It was not him alone that helped changed the course of the war. But he was the only one that was treated with disrespect and made out to be a criminal just be cause of his sexuality, after all that he had done during the war and then tried to do to advance britains role in the computing revolution after the war.

In a way British stealing a credit of decoding “ Enigma “ what was done by Polish mathematics experts in 1932 before outbreak of second war ( Aug 1939 ) Poland decided to share all information with British - together with working “ Enigma “ and mashine called “ Bomba “ which help to speed up process of decoding messages . Polish team - Marian Rejewski . Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski . Do not robbed them of work they have done to save millions of lives as well as shortening a time of war .

What a Brain of course there were others who did their Bit, I am so glad he was honoured by the Queen .

the very thing that maybe suggest some do know actually, both the how and the why, is the very thing that logistics centers around ...inference!
Maxwell's demon illustration too perhaps was in jest, noematta

Poor turing such a sad ending his life had.

[terrysmith]

he was s vital cog in a machine but he was not yhr machine

[martina]

What does putting "gay" in describing him have to do with who he was and what he did? No ones sexuality or gender identity has anything with who a person is. Just like race or religion. It shouldn't matter.

[DaddySantaClaus]

it was not him alone nevertheless, does this make you feel better, is that it????
common sense is truly gone in the world

[dereksippy]

its amazing that a gay guy single handedly saved the world from facism, so let that be a lesson to all strait people to never ever speak ill of our queer overlords...or else!!!

[ronaldschultenover]

Why do they have to examine his sex life?

[stephenwright]

Damn, this AI bot doing the narration gets around. This is the third video I've heard it in. Do English Zoomers hate the man so much that they have to insult his memory by using the same damn bot? Downvoted with extreme aplomb.

[mauriziomoreni]

Thank you what on earth. Are you people saying who he screwed is irrevelevant

[Alan-jpls]

He’s wasn’t gay if you mean homosexual
