"On the 10th of September 2009 The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, released a public apology on behalf of the UK Government for the way the mathematician, codebreaker, and computer scientist, Alan Mathison Turing had been treated in the 1950s. Turing had been prosecuted for "gross indecency," he was gay, and sentanced to chemical castration. It's believed that this caused a profound depression that led to Turing's eventual suicide in 1954."
