Pardon

Alan Turing will finally be pardoned for the "crime" of homosexuality. Not much comfort to Turing now, of course, but still an important thing for the living, and for historical memory. Of course, many other men suffered under the same laws, and do not have the recognition or public advocacy that Turing has had. Hopefully, someday, they can have their names cleared, too.
