American Psychiatric Association deleted homosexuality as a mental disorder by a vote not by science
1973, the American Psychiatric Association deleted homosexuality from the list of mental disorders, the question was simply removed, not resolved. This deletion did not happen as a result of a adequate scientific debate, but only exhorting…subscribers to the Association to express themselves, through a vote, on whether to continue to consider homosexuality as an illness of psychiatric significance. This process, had nothing to do with objective science.
