< Back to School Policy Hub Alan Turing Who was Alan Turing? Early Life World War II Sexuality Death and Legacy Who was Alan Turing? The famous British mathematician and solver of the Nazi Enigma Code: Alan Turing. Turing is also credited with being the father of the modern-day computer. (Image Source: Alamy) Alan Turing was an openly gay British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, physicist, and biologist. He lived from June 23, 1912, until his death on June 7th, 1954. Turing is credited with breaking the Nazi Enigma Code during World War II and is often referred to as the father of the modern-day computer. In the 1950s, Turing was arrested for his sexuality and was forced to undergo chemical castration. Alan Turing profoundly impacted history and the world as we know it today. Early Life The October 1950 issue of Mind, an academic journal published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Mind Association. This issue contains Alan Turing’s published paper on the idea of a “Universal Machine.” (Image Source: Mind Association and Oxford University Press) Alan Turing was the grandson of the Rev. John Robert Turing and descended from a family that included a baronet (A hereditary title awarded by the British crown). Throughout his schooling, Turing was recognized for his talent. After receiving his first-class honors in mathematics from King’s College, Cambridge, at 22, Turing went on to invent computer science. In 1936, Turing published a paper that is recognized as the foundation for computer science as we know it. The paper analyzed what it meant for a person to follow a definite method or procedure to perform a task. For these purposes, Turing invented the idea of a “Universal Machine” that could decode and perform any set of instructions. Turing also theorized about artificial intelligence, something that is still being developed to this day. World War II The Bletchley Park bombe that was in active use during WW2 to decode Nazi messages. (Image Source: Unknown) During World War II, Alan Turing assisted in breaking the German Enigma code. The German Enigma machine was a device used by the Nazi German military to encode strategic messages before and during World War II. Many people dedicated their time and energy to breaking this code, and Alan Turing was one of them. Turing invented a machine called the bombe that decoded the German Enigma messages very quickly, cracking all of them. The breaking of the Enigma code is theorized to have ended the war two years earlier. Many modern-day theorists speculate that if the Enigma code had not been broken, the outcome of World War II could have led to a completely different world than we know today. Exploring Identity Alan Turing, Fred Clayton (another student of King’s College), and two refugee boys from Austria, Robert and Karl. This very image was used by the GCHQ to apologize for their actions against Turing. (Image Source: Susannah Ireland) Less than 100 years ago, homosexuality was illegal in The United Kingdom. However, this did not stop Alan Turing from being openly gay and even partaking in sexual acts with other men. In 1952, Turing was arrested for having a relationship with a 19-year-old, Arnold Murray, while he was 40. Sadly, Turing admitted to “acts of gross indecency” during the trial, and his punishment was to undergo chemical castration, the alternative to being sent to prison. However, this conviction meant that Turing lost his security clearance and had to instantly stop working at the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) in the United Kingdom. Death and Legacy Queen Elizabeth II later went on to issue Alan Turing a royal pardon for his so-called “crimes.” (Image Source: Cecelia Chen/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Alan Turing died on June 7th, 1954, and was not found dead until a day later by his housekeeper. Cyanide poisoning was found to be the cause of death. When the body was discovered, a half-eaten apple was beside him. This apple was not tested for cyanide poisoning, but it was theorized that Turing committed suicide with the apple by reenacting a scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This theory came to light when David Leavitt and Andrew Hodges noted that Turing took “an especially keen pleasure in the scene where the Wicked Queen immerses her apple in the poisonous brew.” No matter the cause of death, Alan Turing will forever be missed. Honors and Recognition In 2009, the now-former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, issued an apology on behalf of the government to Alan Turing. Brown said that the country owed the mathematician a huge debt. The most notable part of Brown’s speech was the following: “This recognition of Alan’s status as one of Britain’s most famous victims of homophobia is another step towards equality and long overdue.” In 2013, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II took it a step further and issued a royal pardon for the so-called “crimes” of Alan Turing. The Queen said she was “graciously pleased to extend Our Grace and Mercy unto the said Alan Mathison Turing and to grant him Our Free Pardon posthumously in respect of the said convictions.” Alan Turing did so much for modern-day society by inventing computer science and changing the course of World War II. The world would be a very different place if it were not for Alan Turing. References Alan Turing: True to Himself . (n.d.). GLSEN. https://www.glsen.org/activity/alan-turing-true-himself Al Jazeera.

< Back to School Policy Hub Homosexuality in Ancient Europe "Homosexuality" as a Modern Term Ancient Greece Ancient Rome Introduction of Christianity Incomplete Picture of Ancient Sources “Homosexuality” as a Modern Term Map of Europe and Byzantine around 1000ACE (Image source: University of Texas Libraries: Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection) Both “homosexual” and “homosexuality” are modern terms that were created in the late nineteenth century concerning the study of abnormal psychology. The way we categorize sexualities and make distinctions now is different from ancient times. Some scholars would argue that since people in ancient Europe classified sexual behaviors or identities not by the gender of the participants but by the sexual role each played, the term “ homosexual ” doesn’t fit. However, it is the term that will be used here for simplicity and clarity. Just understand that what we usually associate with the term in modern-day doesn’t necessarily apply to ancient Europe. Homosexuality in Ancient Greece Homosexuality has existed throughout history, although differently than in the modern day. One of the most well-known examples of ancient homosexuality is in Ancient Greece. The most common and well-recorded form of homosexuality was the relationship between two upper-class males: one youth and one adult. This became an institutionalized practice in many regions of Ancient Greece called pederasty. When a boy reached the age of twelve or so, he became the erotic companion of a young man. For Spartans, this focused on the military training of the boys. For Athenians, the purpose was more for intellectual, character, and athletic training. There were also sexual aspects involved in this relationship. When the boys reached adulthood and became citizens, this relationship ended, and they took a boy of their own. When they finished training at around age thirty, the man would then marry a young woman, usually eighteen. At the time, marriage was less a romantic practice and more an institutional one. Greek Painting of a Gay Couple, 480BC (Image Source: Museum of Paestum) According to the practice, homosexual relations were supposed to end after marriage. However, this wasn’t always followed, and men often continued visiting male prostitutes and brothels or even taking a new “eromenos'' to train. Eromenos is the ancient Greek word for the young boy in this partnership. Homosexual relationships between two male citizen adults were discouraged and less recorded. This is because of social status and Greek ideals of beauty. The “passive” role in a relationship was only socially acceptable for the non-citizen: youth, slaves, and females. A similar pederasty system might have also existed for women, with the writing of Sapphos being the main source of recorded information of this. However, since mainstream society and culture placed men as most important, most of the surviving texts and arts are male-centric. Therefore, not much is known about ancient female homosexuality. Homosexuality in Ancient Rome Art of Ancient Roman martyr-saints and soldiers Maurice and Theofredus and their homosocial relationship. (Image Source: J. Paul Getty Museum) Homosexuality was different for Romans as there was no institutional practice. Like Sparta, Rome was highly militarized. At first, the concern of homosexual relations was only about status and power. Like the Greeks, homosexual relationships were only acceptable between men of different social statuses, so free men could only be with slaves, former slaves, prostitutes, or young men. However, the most common relationship was with slaves rather than with young boys. This “relationship” was often more about conquering and gaining power over a person than it was about mentorship and was often non-consensual. Introduction of Christianity to Ancient Rome The Christian takeover of the Roman Empire in the early 4th century criminalized and demonized all homosexuality. This began when the emperor Constantine used Christianity as his basis for ruling. The first enactment of the death penalty for sodomy was in 342 AD. After his death, the next emperor, Valentinian, divided Rome into East and West. In 476 AD, the West was overthrown and signaled the fall of Rome. However, Eastern Rome, or Byzantine, went on to survive for centuries after. In 533 AD, homosexuality became outlawed in Eastern Rome by the Justinian Code. The emperor, Justinian, then castrated those found guilty of homosexuality. The law was to punish those guilty by death, but that was rarely carried out. The Incomplete Picture of Ancient Sources What we know about ancient homosexuality in Europe is largely based on texts written by older, upper-class male perspectives. Therefore, we largely lack the voice of women, younger men, slaves, etc. It’s also important to remember that an ancient period text does not represent the entire period’s feelings of a given subject, but the feelings of one particular writer, shaped by things like their upbringing. We can see this in our modern-day too. So, overall what we do know about ancient European homosexuality is very broad and missing certain perspectives. People of all different sexualities and genders exist throughout all of history and in all places. References Dynes, W. R., & Donaldson, S. (1992). Homosexuality in the Ancient World . Garland.

< Back to School Policy Hub HPV What is HPV? How It's Spread Symptoms Getting Tested Testing Positive Prevention What is HPV? HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common infection that causes warts on various parts of the body, depending on the strain. It is a different virus from HSV ( herpes ) and HIV . When we say common, we mean REALLY common. About 14 million Americans are diagnosed with HPV each year, while 79 million Americans already have HPV. Most new HPV cases are in their late teens and early 20s. It is so common that virtually everyone who doesn’t get the HPV vaccination will contract some form of HPV at some point in their life if they are sexually active. HPV does not have a cure. Unfortunately, HPV does not have a cure, but it normally goes away on its own. There are treatments to help with the health problems HPV brings with it. How It's Spread HPV is spread through oral, vaginal, and anal sex with someone who has the virus. However, it's most commonly spread through anal and vaginal sex. It can still be spread even if the carrier has no signs or symptoms of HPV. It can take years for symptoms to show up after you’ve had intercourse with a carrier, which can make it hard for people to know who they’ve contracted it from. Anyone who is sexually active can contract HPV, even if they’ve only been with one person. Symptoms High-risk HPV High-risk HPV does not have symptoms, and by the time most people know, they'll likely have already gotten some sort of serious health condition or cancer. High-risk HPV can cause normal cells to be abnormal and cause various cancers. It mostly attacks normal cells in the cervix, vagina, penis, vulva, anus, mouth, and throat. Luckily, it usually takes years for cancer to form, and possible cervical cancer can be picked up in tests before it becomes untreatable. Low-risk HPV Low-risk HPV causes genital warts. Unfortunately, you cannot treat them yourself, and they can be tricky to spot. They can often be mistaken for any bumpy skin issue. They are also known to sometimes cause discomfort and irritation where they form, which can be on or in the genitalia, mouth, and anus. Fortunately, they aren’t dangerous and can’t cause cancer, and they can be treated and removed like regular warts you might get on your feet and hands. Getting Tested There is no universal test to find out if you have HPV. Because HPV normally goes away on its own, most people with HPV don’t know and don’t experience health problems or symptoms. However, some people may discover they have HPV by contracting genital warts or developing certain cancers. There is a test for high-risk HPV in the cervix, but not for other genital areas or the throat. While there are HPV test screenings for cervical cancer, they are only for women aged 25 years or older. They are not recommended for men, adolescents, or women under 25. Women may also find out they have HPV when they receive an abnormal pap smear, which can detect abnormal cell changes on your cervix. Thinking about getting tested? Find a free or low-cost testing place near you. Testing Positive The first thing to remember is that this is nothing to be ashamed of. Like we said earlier, this is a very common infection. If you or your partner have HPV, it does not necessarily mean anyone cheated. Many people go years before finding out they have HPV. How do I get rid of it? Unfortunately, you cannot be treated for the virus itself, but there are treatments for the health problems that it can cause. Genital warts can be treated by your healthcare provider or with prescription medicine. If they are left untreated, they can go away with time but can also persist or even grow in size or number. Cervical pre-cancer can also be treated. Women who get regular Pap tests and follow up as needed can identify problems before they can develop cancer. Other HPV-related cancers, like oral cancer, are also more treatable when diagnosed and treated early before it has the chance to get worse. Prevention Get vaccinated. You can prevent HPV by getting the HPV vaccine. It is safe and effective, and it can also protect against diseases, such as some cancers, that are caused by HPV. It is recommended to get this vaccine at ages 11 or 12, but all people ages 9 to 45 can get it if they haven't been vaccinated already. Wear protection. If you are sexually active, use condoms every time you have sex. It can lower your chances of getting HPV, but not entirely. You can still contract HPV from areas that are not covered by a condom.
