    I don't really pay attention to their gender orientation as much, when I'm reading about their biographies. Their contribution and achievements are what captures my interest. Having given it some thought, Alan Turing is pretty high up there. The father of computer science and artificial intelligence, is an impressive and inspiring contribution to humanity.

    Archimedes is pretty high up there too. I'm not sure of his gender orientation, and the article I'm about to attach is pretty old, but it is still pretty inspiring, and worth another read.

    You've hit the nail on the head already. Alan Turing motherfuckers. You can shove your enigma code right up your third-reich ass.

    I don't know any besides Alan Turing. And he is part of the reason the computer exists. So that is a good thing.

    I agree, we owe so much to Turing.

    Alan Turing came to mind, then I saw the link.

    Turing was pretty cool... I can't think of any others mainly because I don't really care about sexual orientation, so I've never bothered to look at whether or not my favorite scientists were gay.

    Alan Turing's definitely the most inspiring and impressive I can think of right now, but his story is also a pretty sad one. Genius, father of modern computing, prosecuted as a homosexual and forced to undergo hormone therapy and chemical castration, eventually killed himself. Hard to believe all that shit happened only 60 years ago.
