And Britain has announced it will pardon up to 15,000 gay and bisexual men who were convicted under old laws that criminalized homosexuality. The pardons are being done under the so-called Turing law, named after Alan Turing, who cracked Nazi Germany’s “unbreakable” Enigma code but was later prosecuted for being gay. He committed suicide in 1954 at the age of 41.
