The Truth at Last: Computer is the Homo's Devil Machine!
… and she’s one confused lady holding the sign and the rainbow flag at the same time! Found at Wulfweard the White.

I'm guessing that she's being sarcastic, because of the "Who cares..." part.
Britt
Definitely a sarcastic sign, but I love how many people are unaware of this information.
Dan
How could I be expected to understand sarcasm? You expect me to actually read things?
Erik
You guy's missed. Someone photo-shopped it on. You can obviously tell that the color tone is different on the poster + text.

"Employing irony in the marriage debate
Outside the State House, there are many more gay rights protesters than anti-gay marriage demonstrators. One of the anti-gay marriage proponents, Susie Hicks from Woburn, said this was because everyone thinks gay marriage is a "done deal." She was at the State House with her friend Angela Mitchell, also from Woburn. Mitchell held a sign that read WE WANT THE BAY STATE NOT THE GAY STATE, THAT WOULD MEAN A SAD STATE.
Her sign was in sharp contrast to some of those held by gay marriage supporters that focus on gays who've made history such as Leonardo da Vinci, Alan Turing, who invented the computer, and Katherine Lee Bates, who wrote "America the Beautiful." The sign focusing on Turning, for example, reads: DESTROY THE COMPUTER! IT'S A HOMOSEXUAL INVENTION BY ALAN TURING. WHO CARES IF HE CRACKED THE GERMAN ENIGMA CODE AND WON WORLD WAR II. IT'S A HOMO'S DEVIL MACHINE.
Tom Lang of Manchester by the Sea held one of the signs -- which have taken some viewers a few moments to figure out. "We're trying to show how important gay people are to the American culture," Lang explained. "We're not mental. We're not immoral. But we're important to society and interwoven into the tapestry of America."

Gotta be ironic. Especially given that the sign itself was printed on a computer. And the computer was invented by Charles Babbage.
Andrew
Erik. what are you talking about?
Joe
Is that a web address i see right above "homo devil machine?"
chris
@trilby, babbage invented the _programmable_ computer
turing owns him, 
Aramax
I dont want to read Ryan Seacrest protest sign.
Paola
That multi colured flag is the simbol of sexual diversity (seen on wikipedia)
Antygon
To be precise it was not Turing who cracked Enigma ;P
Decryption was made in 1932 by Polish cryptographers Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki.
ted
I like how Turing "won World War II". I think a few other people helped him out.
Surprising how so few people get the sarcasm in this protest sign. Thing is, I bet there are a lot of people who do see the computer as evil, what with all the porn.
sd
She is wrong in any way. As Chris writed, digital computer was invented by Babagge. And as Antygon writed, Turing did not crack enigma code. He only (eventualy) build specialized computer to fast check cryptographic keys. But it was one of many steps in process of decryption messages crypted by enigma.
gail
I'm pretty sure the lady is committing sarcasm.
Ali
XD That is so ironic!! Hahahaha!
Jason
Wow, a homosexual did something of note and value and that makes homosexuality a virtue. Hitler was a vegetarian, so I guess that makes vegetarians monsters, right?
