The goal of posting it is quite obvious since it's a "historical topic" under the "history" sub forum
No, it was a random piece of information with nothing to lead to a discussion.
Starting new threads isn't a contest here.
It was a Historical topic, posted in the "Historical sub forum", marked with the "serious" tag too, but you moved it here
.How messed up?

Homosexuality was a crime in "Britain" and there was law banning it under ""gross indecency" under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885".
He then took his own life with Cyanide:
Actually, Turing wasn’t sentenced to prison. He was given the choice between incarceration and chemical castration, choosing the later. Also, his death from cyanide poisoning was likely accidental.

What kind of sick fuck removes a man's balls for being gay ?
