This is a deeply thought-provoking read. History offers countless examples of society discriminating against those it deems different, but it remains heartbreaking to see this prejudice extend to individuals who were nothing short of heroes like Turing. The continued persecution of some individuals well into the late 1990s serves as a harrowing reminder of the profound injustices inflicted upon so many. Tragically, such discrimination persists in parts of the world today, with consequences that can be devastating, even fatal. Here’s to striving for a future defined by greater inclusion, compassion, and acceptance for all.

Well said, for our purposes these stories suggest how hard it is to govern well and how easily perceptions about right and wrong shift. We too hope for a better future even if sometimes it appears we are headed in the wrong direction.
