The History of Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr Studi, and Queer Studi at UCLA. UCLA has sponsored rearch lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer studi for over fifty years, longer than almost any other universy the Uned Stat. The program enjoys this distctn thanks to the work of Evelyn Hooker, a rearch psychologist at UCLA, who was urged by a former stunt and other gay men she knew to study homosexuals who were not psychiatric treatment.
Her rearch, which she began prentg publicly 1954, showed that there is no tectable difference the psychologil health of homosexual and heterosexual men.
As one of the very first amics to challenge the belief that homosexuals are some way flawed, Hooker assured UCLA a place of honor among U. After several years of discsn and planng, an unrgraduate mor lbian, gay, and bisexual studi was approved early 1997, and the Lbian, Gay, and Bisexual Studi Program began s work the fall quarter of that year.
