> The fact that he was shamed into suicide is just all the more reason to celebrate him now.

Please don’t diminish his legacy by repeating this lie. Turings suicide is contentious and circumstantial at best. His documented behaviour had none of the very common signs of suicide - there was no note, he had plans for later in the week, and none of his close friends noted any change in behaviour.

Suicide or not, his treatment by society was equally heinous and repulsive. Even he had lived a complete and happy life, his story would have been a bright example of the terror and evil of homophobia.
