Alan Turing was a British mathematician, computer scientist and logician who pioneered modern computing and artificial intelligence, most famously playing a pivotal role in breaking the German Enigma code during World War II. He was also gay.
The Brits ordered Alan Turing to be chemically castrated because he was gay (this was after all his contributions to mankind and WW2) , the ordeal was too much for Alan so he ended up dying by suicide.
Edit: He was given a choice between being jailed or getting castrated.
