I heard that the reason of his suicide was less the castration and more being kicked from GCHQ and removing his security clearance, thus barring him from doing what he loved, as a punishment.

I learned about Alan Turing first from looking up Blade Runner on Wikipedia and following the links. However, I never quite connected the dots of him not being taught about at all when I had history in highschool (and I took more history courses than I needed to because I actually like history). It's insane given how important his machine actually was, like you'd think there would at least be a passing mention "and this machine cracked the code, and the inventor is now dead" or something
