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]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 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.

:This great man is a case study of a tragedy. Nobody should be driven to suicide- and by it certain damnation!- for any ideological reason. Homosexuals and atheists can be converted by faith and reason, and anyone ingenious enough to crack the Nazi code certainly has plenty of both. "This great man" is by no means an endorsement of homosexuality or atheism. In fact, it is the very opposite. I find Alan Turing to be yet another example in the very long list of the Lord's infinite wisdom- anyone, absolutely any human being on this great Earth, can be a servant of the Lord if He so chooses, even if they themselves never realize it in their lifetimes. The conversion of Saul is one of my very favorite lessons from the Bible, for it proves this.
