It's about time this country recognized Alan Turing, his huge contribution to our freedom as a nation in the 1940's and then the huge injustice dealt to him by a homophobic establishment in the 1950's. That period of time seemed to be dominated by closed minded, conservative philosophies, witch hunts were de rigueur back then and alarmingly seem to have regained ground in recent years, let's hope that this small symbol adds some friction to movement of the zeitgeist in that direction.
