In the spirit of truly wanting to find understanding: could you elaborate? I found the initial comment difficult to fully get in the first place (which might be entirely my fault!).

I explained my entire point of view. As an ESL I can't do better. Thank you.

I'm an ESL too and you did a truly terrible job 'explaining'. You just threw out a bunch of sentences that - I think - makes somehow light of Alan Turing's suffering for being gay. I was hoping you could explain further so I wouldn't stick with that conclusion.

EDIT: So I guess you're saying flamboyant gays ruin it for those who pretend to be straight in all the right ways well enough?
