Descendants of Alan Turing Deliver Gay
Pardon Petition to Downing Street

Graham Moore received a well-deserved Oscar statuette this past Sunday for writing 'The Imitation Game.' The movie shed light on Alan Turing, who had no choice but to undergo hormonal treatment after he was arrested for gross indecency with a man in 1952. Members of his family want to get the 49,000 men who were also convicted under the U.K's anti-sodomy laws a pardon. You can read more about their work here and here. Please consider signing this Change.org petition
