The meme playfully references the Turing machine and Alan Turing's groundbreaking work in cryptography during WWII. The British government's reaction to Turing's homosexuality (he was "queer coded") after the war is juxtaposed with his crucial role in breaking Nazi encryption (actual "code"). The double entendre here is brilliant - Turing literally coded machines while being forced to hide his identity. Talk about ungrateful! The man saves your country by decoding enemy messages and your response is to prosecute him for his sexuality. The scientific irony is just *chef's kiss* - the father of modern computing reduced to a punchline about binary thinking in more ways than one.
