Being gay didn't contribute to his death. How the state treated him when they found out did. Anytime his name comes up I think about how many horrible people there are in the world who just can't let others be what they are . Fanatics are somewhat evil by nature.

I also looked this up and many sources are giving credit to a guy named Charles Babbage. But perhaps this meme creator is defining computer differently.

Babbage is the creator of the first mechanical Computer (his Difference Engine).

Turing is the father of Computer Science, in that he created a mathematical model for computation (Turing Machines).
