RiP Alan Turing
23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954

I'll never forget being a kid reading and reading about Turing in Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson and thinking to myself, "whoa, men being romantic with other men?! Is this a thing?"
My uncle had been in a romantic relationship with a man my whole life, but I'd never seen any real displays of affection between them. Prior to starting high school, these were my only exposures to homosexuality outside of claims of it's horrible evils. If that feeling of hope hadn't been torn from me, I wonder if I wouldn't have had to learn how to be alone.

I won't suffer in the hope of tolerance anymore. From now on, I fight for the sake of love.
