Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homosexuality was previously considered a mental illness and was listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) until 1973. However, after years of advocacy and research by LGBTQ activists and mental health professionals, the APA removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973. This decision was based on the recognition that homosexuality is not a mental illness, but rather a normal variation of human sexuality. This decision was a significant milestone in the history of LGBTQ rights and helped to reduce the stigma and discrimination faced by LGBTQ individuals.
