I don't see the relevance of his sexual preference. If someone is trying to make a case that homosexuals are "great contributors to society" and that therefore we should stop calling homosexuality immoral, we can report that argument. But we should not plant it here; it smacks of propaganda. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] ^{[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]} 10:01, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

:You'd have a point if his homosexuality didn't impact his work and public life, but that isn't the case. His arrest in 1952 destroyed his career and reputation, and the hormone therapy he underwent as an alternative to prison is widely believed to be what drove him to suicide two years later. All politics aside, any biographical entry on Alan Turing which doesn't mention his sexual orientation at all is woefully incomplete. Deliberately avoiding the subject for fear of endorsing it serves no purpose except to give readers the impression that Conservapedia is a wiki which puts ideology ahead of being an informative reference tool.
