Why do people upvote this homophobic shit?

I took it as a celebration of his life, with a dash of “Hey, as a gay man, life is way better, today.”

I’m not sure “reduces him (Alan Turing) from a brilliant scientist” is possible, on Lemmy.

We don’t have saints here, but if that ever changes, Alan Turing and Ada Lovelace will probably be our first and second second and third saints (edit: apologies to Fred Rogers. I feel silly.).

Edit: Heck, this is fun. Here’s a proposal for our first round inductee Saints of Lemmy candidates:

• Fred Rogers (Automatic round one draft pick.)

Then for consideration to complete our first induction year:

• Alan Turing
• Ada Lovelace
• Bob Ross

And if living people can be inducted:

• Linux Torvalds
• Christine Lemmer-Webber
• Members of the production teams behind Mr Rogers Neighborhood, Sesame Street, Blues Clues + It might take a few years to induct everyone who deserves it.

I might keep returning to this list. Lots of folks deserve credit here.
