The design of the Bank of England's new £50 note features the mathematician, codebreaker and computer pioneer Alan Turing. It enters circulation on what would have been his birthday, 23 June.
Alan Turing was given a posthumous royal pardon in 2013 following his 1952 conviction for gross indecency. He was arrested after having an affair with a 19-year-old Manchester man and chemically castrated.
In 2017 around 49,000 gay and bisexual men were pardoned for past convictions under the so-called Turing law.
Remorse over the death of Alan Turing and changing attitudes to homosexuality have been used by pressure groups to demand equality for just about any preference. Alleged 'victims' have become oppressors demanding conformity to their ideas.

'Rights' are demanded however bizarre the circumstances may appear.
Gender has become so confused that trans-sexual 'men' having babies can be classified as male gender.
Mice have already been created using cells from same sex parents.
Channel 4 is currently running a series 'Strangers Making Babies' which follows a group of "single, would-be parents looking for a platonic partner to have a baby with".
These are not isolated individuals. There are 70,000 people signed up to co-parenting sites looking for platonic partners to have children 'without love'. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is was love!
The Church has become complicit by giving in to demands for blessing same sex unions and church weddings.
Campaigners will rejoice at Alan Turing's well deserved recognition but it comes at a price.
Not to be left behind, the trendy Church in Wales has published their support for the #BlackLivesMatter campaign with an International Group statement released by their Chairperson, Joanna Penberthy, 129th bishop of St Davids, in which the Church in Wales' commitment to combating racism is affirmed in its response to the murder of George Floyd in the USA: "Current events in the USA have brought to the attention of the world the extreme injustice of white supremacy and racism. In challenging racism the Church has much to learn and to repent of."
What has escaped the Church in Wales is that Islam is a supremacist ideology which uses the Quran as its authority for subjugating non-Muslims who they regard as infidels yet the Church in Wales is happy to fraternise with Muslims bringing into sharp focus the double standards of the bench of bishops.
Islam is not a race but the all-party parliamentary group on British Muslims claimed that "Islamophobia is a type of racism", thus offering further protection to an ideology that has problems with the truth and denies the basic tenets of Christianity.
In its reign of terror against infidels and the wrong sort of Muslims ISIS damaged and destroyed many ancient sites in their war on cultural heritage, attacking archaeological sites with bulldozers and explosives.
Less severe, a similar attempt to blot out history has been mounted by the 'Topple The Racists' website which has named 78 statues and monuments that 'celebrate slavery and racism' it wants torn down in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests. It will not stop there.
With more foresight they would recognise that these statues are reminders of the past when standards were very different. If 'black history' is to be taught as demanded by protestors they have ready made examples to point to, for now.
Slavery is abhorrent but rather than trying to erase history, symbols of the evils of the past should be used to inform society. The past cannot be changed. The future can.
Voices need to be raised to stop modern slavery in the UK but few are.
Previous minority movements have led to undreamt of consequences. The campaign to pardon WW2 'enigma' hero Alan Turing developed into a tide of protests ultimately resulting in gender confusion, same sex marriage and, in the Church in Wales, a transgender priest and an openly lesbian bishop while orthodox Anglicanism has been jettisoned along with orthodox Anglicans.
The LGBT movement is now deeply embedded in Church, State and media. Constant efforts are made to spread LGBT propaganda in our schools.
Hand in hand with the LGBT campaign, the feminist movement previously used victimhood and sympathy to invade the Anglican Church by stealth, inching their way forward from deaconess to deacon, priest and bishop after protesting that they had no ambitions beyond being ordained deacon.
After the success of the unscrupulous WATCH campaign the Roman Catholic Church is now being similarly targeted.
Fashionable minorities have a habit of taking over resulting in confusion as exhibited by the ignorant, intolerant mob culture that has developed, often encouraged by trendy, leftist bishops.
The Church in Wales has indeed much to learn and to repent of.
