Summary
Joanie recounts the (contested) mythology that Apple's bite-marked logo honors Alan Turing, a gay man who was chemically castrated via estrogen injections, faced imprisonment for 'gross indecency,' and died by cyanide-laced apple in 1954. Whether true or not, it symbolizes hidden queer history beneath mainstream icons.
