As Pride Month comes to a close, I cannot forget that June is also the month of both the birth and death of Alan Turing, who died for no other reason than being ostracized and shamed for his homosexuality. The wrongful, tragic, wanton death of Alan Turing, a giant whose shoulders everyone reading this cast from a digital device stands upon. An unjust death by poisoning, reminiscent of that of Socrates, in a reverberation through time of man's timeless bigotry that makes no exception, even for giants. Imagine a world where Alan Turing would have been allowed to live, thrive, and progress our species further, instead of being cruelly pushed to suicide. I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community, so it took me a while to understand why the word "Pride" was chosen for its annual celebration. I can see now that, beyond conveying ideas of dignity and self-respect, "Pride" is also the obvious and powerful counter to its antonym, "Shame", which has been the societal norm for far too long in History ✊ 🏳️‍🌈

Just seeing this now. How well formulated. The destiny and life story of Turing, to me, encapsulates the most beautiful - and the most horrible aspects of humanity. A while ago a friend of mine got the commission of a life time.👇 https://www.cs.princeton.edu/news/alan-turings-portrait-unveiled-ceremony

As part of the LGTBQIA+ community and activist I thank you for being a true ally and help us to spread the conversation on this matter. We are stronger when we are together, and the more we speak up the more loud we become. Truly appreciate this cast, one of the best piece of content I've found in the last weeks. 44 $degen

I still get angry every time I think about what happened to Turing, just disgusting treatment by the government! Thank you for sharing this.

Well said, Thomas. I used to live not far from Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing and many others worked during WW2. https://bletchleypark.org.uk/our-story/alan-turing-faqs/ 5 $degen

Very great cast. How you shift the symbol from shame to pride is vital for creating an inclusive society where everyone lives authentically without fear. 🏳️‍🌈
