    TMQH:"20,000,000 Gay People Cured!"

    In 1973, the headline "20,000,000 Gay People Cured!" appeared in the Chicago Gay Crusader in response to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removing homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This month, we delve into how a coalition of gay activists, medical professionals, and psychiatrists succeeded in declassifying homosexuality as a mental disorder.  Show Notes:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_ZMdgTyqwRS28u9ItvJ5xXvfdOWw2QulPUb43hGRDo4/edit?usp=sharing Please note that some of the sources for this episode are decades old and use outdated, medicalized, and stigmatizing language towards queer people.
