The Turing enigma: Campaigners demand pardon for mathematics genius
Were it not for a gay man named Jonathan, David would have been killed by King Saul.
Were it not for a gay man named John, there wouldn't be a "disciple whom Jesus loved" in the Christian Gospels.
Were it not for Alan Turing, the ENIGMA code would not have been broken and the Germans would have won the Battle of the Atlantic. Were it not for the gay and lesbians serving in the US armed forces...
The Turing enigma: Campaigners demand pardon for mathematics genius
He should have been hailed a hero for his wartime codebreaking. Instead he was prosecuted for his homosexuality and took his own life. So why has Britain never said sorry? Jonathan Brown reports

He may have played a pivotal role in securing victory in the Second World War for his country six years earlier, but few outside the academic community would have recognised Alan Turing as he made his way down Manchester's Oxford Street shortly before Christmas in 1951. Someone who did notice the athletically-built scientist, however, was a young working class gay man called Arnold Murray.
(snip)
So according to IndianaGreen Jonathan and John were "gay" because they "loved" another man. No mention of sexuality or love meaning erotic love-but because the word love is used it they are obviously gay.
Obama says he loves his daughters, therefore he is a pedophile (according to IndianaGreens logic).
No doubt about it, liberal logic has nothing to do with actual logic.
