I find it useful to ignore what motivations people have and focus on what they actually do. This is obviously a good thing - it was an immoral law and Turing deserves a pardon.
I also find it useful to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just because Turing deserves even more honors and everyone prosecuted by that evil law deserves to be pardoned doesn't mean that we can't celebrate this one step.
Also, it's kind of selfish (even though he's dead) to feel that the conviction should have stood. This corrects an injustice, and it must be done, regardless of the arguable societal benefits otherwise.
