Declassifitn, as the years-long effort was known, culmated 1973, when May, LGBTQ+ voic were heard at the annual APA nference, and later the APA Board of Tste voted to remove homosexualy om the DSM.

In makg heterosexualy the “norm, ” the APA effectively ma homosexualy the “other.

The mpaign to remove the “homosexualy” diagnosis om the DSM began earnt the 1960s, backed by a growg civil rights, women’s rights, and gay rights movement across the untry. Dubbed the “homophile” movement, gay and lbian rights anizatns major ci like New York Cy, San Francis, and Philalphia started to prsure elected officials and lnch public mpaigns for LGBTQ+ visibily and rights.
