Alan Turing, one of the key figures of WW2 because he invented the programmable electronic binary computer, was, we are certain, a gay man.

You might also consider that the *personal* computer is, to a large extent, the invention of people who might be described as "hippies" - sci fi fans who played around with electronics as a hobby - called "hackers" because they actually were hacks - amateurs, many of whom were given to "counter-culture" ideas, the most famous being visionary and onetime LSD aficionado Steve Jobs - not to be confused with the "straights" of IBM, whom they took ideas from but laughed at.

    John Atanasoff invented the first electronic digital computer. He was half American and half Bulgarian and NOT gay since he had a wife and a few kids. Look it up yourself.
