the treatment Alan Turing went through to "cure" his homosexuality. Whilst I had previously thought this only to be barbaric acts by small minded people, the report suggested some of the medics genuinely thought that this science could actually change him and be a force for good. Yes there was attempts to turn homosexuals into heterosexuals, and they failed. There is amble scientific evidence, as a result of these abuses, that sexual orientation can't be changed. |

I'll present an anecdote which, amongst several I've seen/heard, suggests to me that you're wrong in your assertion.
"On Freddie Mercury's Sexuality
'I think it was an undiscussed thing for a long time. The truth of the matter is nobody should care. Why should anyone care what sexual persuasion people have? It's about the music, and Freddie would have been the first to say that. He never hid the fact that he was turned on by men instead of by women, but strange enough, I don't think it was always the case. Because in the early days, we used to share rooms. So in the early days, I know who Freddie slept with, and they weren't men, but I think it gradually changed. And I have no idea how these things work, but it wasn't really anybody's business but his, and we never talked about it as if it were important. Why should it be important? We just made music together.'"
