Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952, when homosexual acts were still illegal in the United Kingdom. He accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison.

You forgot to mention he killed himself 2 years later.
It'd probably amaze most people how many gay people made real history. As long as California's law means teachers can say "Turing was a gay man who was ..." and not "Now children we will begin a 6 week long Gays in History unit!" I support the law remotely.
