I agree with this article, but I'd put it a little differently. Alan Turing's pardon is 100% right and should therefore immediately be extended to any gay person who has been arrested, detained, or persecuted for being gay.It was wrong when it was used against Oscar Wilde, it was wrong when it was used against Turing and it was wrong when it was used against an estimated 75,000 other men, whether they were famous playwrights and scientists or squaddies, plumbers or office clerks. Each of those men was just as unfairly persecuted, and many suffered similarly awful fates. To single out Turing is to say these men are less deserving of justice because they were somehow less exceptional. That cannot be right.
I agree lil the article's titles is the only thing wrong with this piece. I agree with his central thesis.
One thing I've learned that you may be able to confirm, is that often authors have no say in the title that a publication gives their work. I hope that is the case here as it's a deliberately "shocking" title. Silly. I agree with the content though.
