In honor of Pride month, we are going to tell you about Allan Turing. Alan was a lot of things; mathematician , brilliant computer engineer, computer science theorist, son of a civil servant, and a gay man. He saved his nation and ultimately the entire world from a sadistic mad man, but sadly homosexuality is all his nation seemed to ultimately care about and did all they could to destroy him because of it. Join Kevin (dressed in the full spectrum sparkle rainbow) as he tells you about this genius and loving man, and this unfortunate end as a result of hate and prejudice.
