Actually there are levels of heroism and contribution, hence the different levels of awards(knighthoods, orders, medals and such). Turing's is pretty f***g high on the contribution scale.
LGBT groups are. And the same people support that initiative. They however asked a fast track for Turing... You know. To break the ice.
Neither of those people, including Turing, were rich or famous. The reason lies solely in his contributions and his tragedy.
