I would find that more than acceptable. But I think it's a little dismissive to say that Alan Turing didn't get stabbed in the back more than other gays. Here's a man who serves his country in an outstanding fashion and _then_ is violated and mutilated. I'm not trying to belittle the suffering of other gays, I'm just trying to highlight the exceptional pettiness of the government towards one of its greatest thinkers.
It's like what happened to Oppenheimer during McCarthyism. Thousands of perfectly fine people forced out of their work because they were socialist or communist or even just didn't hate communism as much as was expected. At least Oppenheimer got something of an apology. That's not as bad as being chemically castrated, but I think the situation bears some similarities.
