Yes, but this is the first time it makes the front page. Better late than never.

Thank you.

The top comment elegantly makes the point that:

It would have been better for Turing if the government left him alone instead of chemically castrating him and driving him to suicide, then venerating him.

The fight for LGBTQ rights is far from over. As a reminder, LGBTQ individuals are at greater-than-average risk of homelessness.

Ah cool, missed that completely. I thought this was the source that would be posted but of course the same story can be posted from different sources. (It was posted from this one as well, three times and none of those made it).
