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
