Want to know why we have a Gay Pride? There is too many reasons to go through but allow me to tell you about one in particular. His name was Alan Turing. He broke the German Enigma Code and was pivotal in the defeat of Hitler and Nazi Germany. After the war, somehow they find out he was gay. They convict him for homosexuality and give him a choice; chemical castration or 2 years in prison. He chose chemical castration via the use of oestrogen which over prolonged use, destroyed his athletic physique and caused a heartbreaking depression which broke his soul. He ended up committing suicide in general obscurity because even though a hero, no one wanted a hero who helped save the known world, that was gay. When ever you wonder why gay pride is so important, think about Alan Turing. Think about all the other hero's the world hides and has tried to bury under the sands of time because the were LGBT. They matter. We matter.
I just saw the movie " The Imitation Game". It pissed me off and broke my heart. This is why we can't have heroes. We always need heroes until we don't and when we nolonger need our heroes, we kill them and forget them. This is why we usually end up needing them again. Smh 😢💔💔😢
Thank you Alan Turing. You were amazing! R.I.P. 😢💗
