This is why libertarianism isn't just an option---it is a moral necessity.

There is a memorial to him in the form of a bronze statue sitting on a bench with plack in Sackville park in Manchester's gay village. There is also a road named after him in the same city.

Britain has a lot of making up to do for the similiar mistakes we have made. Turing helped us win the war and that was the thanks he got. Fuck civilization.

he said the story was a long and fascinating one and he would make a short story about it one day. Either it is a long one or a short one....some kinda genius.

It is so terrible that such a genius was convicted for homesexuality. It is a shame.
