Example: In 1950 Alan Turing, one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, was sentenced for being a homosexual despite breaking the German Enigma code in WW2, saving millions of lives. It is estimated that around 49,000 people were convicted under similar outdated laws until homosexuality was decriminalized in England in 1967. – Source https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/alan-turing-new-50-banknote-gay-codebreaker-mathematician-sexuality-pardon-a9005086.html
