Pardoning Alan Turing is not a good idea in my opinion. This sends the message that what he did was wrong, and only because he happens to be a war hero he gets pardoned. This makes it seem like the other homosexuals who got the same treatment as Turing do not deserve a pardon. Just because Turing was a genius does not make his treatment any more unjust than the treatment of those other people. Therefore either all homosexuals who were prosecuted should be pardoned, or nobody should be.
