What does being gay and an atheist have to do with computers? That’s like saying “you like peanut butter? Thank this black guy!” Or “you like rockets? Thank this Nazi!”
Alan was a great man of science, especially math and electronics, he shortened ww2 for example with his various devices employed to decrypt nazi enigma transmissions, but I don’t think he was the father of computer science. Nor did he build the first electronic digital computer, that was the Atanasoff Berry made at Iowa State College. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atanasoff%E2%80%93Berry_computer
The sticky bit is Turing had access to classified information and had a security clearance. It was frowned on for those that have such clearances to be sodomites, adulterers or gamblers as they could be blackmailed. That said, Turning’s boyfriend broke into Turing’s house after a lovers squabble. Turing reported that it was his boyfriend that did it. The boyfriend outed Turing as a sodomite. Seeing as the UK’s equivalent of the DOD was not amused, and their justice system had laws against gays, Turning did not fair well going forward.
Computers are alien technology we got from spaceship that crashed in Rosewell incident
Ah, you must be Kauf Buch’s brother, welcome!
The first “Modern” computer was Z3 by Zuse, completed some six years prior to Roswell:

Actually, George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter.

Note the absence of comments from right wing morons.
They are afraid of being infected with homosexuality…
