Shame that Jimmy Carter's liberal compassion ended up closing all the insane asylums. Today all you fucking libtards, prove that it was wrong to close them.People are bullied, harassed and discriminated against because they're gay, even though being gay isn't a choice. While we certainly have dramatically evolved on this, gay people should not be ashamed that they were born gay.
Homosexuality: The Mental Illness That Went Away | Behaviorism and Mental Health
But since the science was settled, it was abnormal for men to fudge pack other men and women to muff dive other women. But then those immoral liberals did this.There was little or no suggestion within the psychiatric community that homosexuality might be conceptualized as anything other than a mental illness that needed to be treated. And, of course, homosexuality was listed as a mental illness in DSM-II.
Then in 1970 gay activists protested against the APA convention in San Francisco. These scenes were repeated in 1971, and as people came out of the “closet” and felt empowered politically and socially, the APA directorate became increasingly uncomfortable with their stance. In 1973 the APA’s nomenclature task force recommended that homosexuality be declared normal. The trustees were not prepared to go that far, but they did vote to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses by a vote of 13 to 0, with 2 abstentions. This decision was confirmed by a vote of the APA membership, and homosexuality was no longer listed in the seventh edition of DSM-II, which was issued in 1974.
It has always been the way of the LEFT to be immoral in all behavior, as seen by the riots in Berkley and Baltimore, the push for LBGTQWXYZ123 and polygamy(Bi-sexuality). We saw pushback from "normal" people by voting out the crooked vagina ex candidate and stopping 4 more years of such bullshit. The left will not stop, they will continue to try to break the will of the people. When will it be time, for US citizens to push back.What’s noteworthy about this is that the removal of homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough. There was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this major change. Rather, it was the simple reality that gay people started to kick up a fuss.
