Turing was a maths-and-logic nerd, one of the worlds first code monkeys, and Churchill described him as having made a bigger contribution to the victory in WWII than any other individual. His work on running the computers that cracked the enigma code was absolutely vital.

So he preferred men to women. BFD.

An apology and full rehabilitation of his reputation would seem long overdue.
