I find absurd that people focus so much on the fact that he was homosexual and forget that what defined him was his way of thinking and code cracking.

It's not so much obsessing on the fact he was homosexual, more how his country betrayed him.

Well [I]maybe[/I] if the gays got their rights people would stop making a fuss.

We did betray him horrifically, and it needs to be said again and again until people understand how much of a crime what we did as a country was.

As I was participating in the GCHQ:Crack Me Challenge, it was sad reading up about him. It is a true shame that a country for ever indebted to him could, for lack of a better description, turned on him.
And back to the news at hand, I don't believe that naming a data mining project after a mathematician gives him the respect due. Allan Turing did more than just data mining, he narrowed down the search area with mathematics. Offering great computational power will never out do the power of one mathematician.
