Alan Turing on a Father's Day List?

0

Despite the incredible importance of his works compared to the relative obscurity he remains in today, Alan Turing won't ever make it to a fun, fathers day list because of his:

  • conviction of gross indecency for being homosexual
  • effeminate appearance exacerbated by forced estrogen injections
  • depression and (probable) suicide

Certainly, no matter the importance of a woman's invention, you wouldn't expect to see her in a father's day list, right? It's just the nature of such lists, and nothing to detract from Alan Turing or his role as father of modern computer science.
