> If you go into the UK you had the history of Alan Turing who was kicked out of the military in the 1950s when he came out of the closet. Since he could only do the science he loved with the country's backing, he killed himself as a result.
Yeah, Alan Turing. That's an ideal example. At least British government in 2009 officially apologised. In 2009.

Well, if we'll look deeper in history - yes, it's more a political issue, but still combined with mentality.
