INTERNATNAL GAY CEMA: 33 LGBTQ MOVI TO SEE OM AROUND THE WORLD
From Fassbr to Pasoli and Sciamma, here are some of the bt gay movi om the global arthoe. * gay wires *
The Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Mental Disorrs, or DSM, which the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn pil as a gui to diagnosis and treatment of illns, listed homosexualy as a "socpathic personaly disturbance” the DSM-I, published 1952, and as a “sexual viatn” the DSM-II, published 1968 (see Further Readg).
Homosexualy has been treated wh lobotomi, chemil stratn, electril shocks and nsea-ducg dgs as well as psychotherapy. I then tell my stunts about a bizarre gay-nversn experiment rried out 1970 by a leadg bra-implant rearcher, Dr. Heath scribed his homosexualy experiment two papers published 1972: “Septal Stimulatn for the Iniatn of Heterosexual Behavr a Homosexual Male, ” -wrten wh Charl Moan, Journal of Behavr Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry; and "Pleasure and Bra Activy Man, " Journal of Nervo and Mental Disease.
The experiment volved “patient B-19, ” a 24-year-old man wh a history of epilepsy, prsn, dg abe and homosexualy. For the prev three years, Heath wrote, B-19 had “led the life of a vagrant, experimentg wh dgs, engagg numero homosexual relatnships and beg supported fancially by his homosexual partners.

But as The Guardian reported last year, groups around the world still practice gay-nversn therapi, cludg on volvg electric shocks. Rearch on bra implants for treatg mental disorrs ntu, but no one, as far as I know, is g implants to nvert homosexuals. Historil overviews of gay-nversn therapy and the DSM tegorizatn of homosexualy n be found Wikipedia and a 2015 article Behavral Scienc, rpectively.
The latter quot Edmund Bergler, a proment psychoanalyst, sayg his 1956 book Homosexualy: Disease or Way of Life: “I have no bias agast homosexuals; for me they are sick people requirg medil help... Still, though I have no bias, I would say: Homosexuals are sentially disagreeable people, regardls of their pleasant or unpleasant outward manner. That unbearable, paful erotic tensn is more or ls the staed mood of Oliver Herman’ shimmerg and sensual ary drama “Moffie, ” which is easily the bt movie about gay male reprsn sce “God’s Own Country.
” Set 1981 South Ai at the apex of the South Ain Borr War, the film’s story of gay unrequed sire turns out to be a sg for somethg far more lethal s marrow. It’s 1981, South Ai, which means ’s not okay to be a “moffie”; effemacy is a sign of weakns, and beg gay is also illegal.
