They say that they couldn't because it would also have included men who had non-consensual sex or sex with minors.

Turing's is largely a symbolic pardon to at least help address this concern to some degree. It's not perfect, but I'll take any steps forward I can get.

P.S. The video in the article is a pretty good / interesting review of all the events surrounding Turing and it's relation to this bill.

In Britain a pardon doesn't clear your criminal record, it makes you immune from prosecution. This makes a posthumous pardon largely pointless.

However, IIRC there was a lengthy bill passed several years ago that had one item which was to 'symbolically pardon' conscientious objectors during WWII. I imagine this is using that precedent.

Indeed - the current proposal suggests that the persecution was only wrong because he was a war hero, and not because of the injustice of it.

I'd imagine there must be some victims who are still alive today.
