=====================
During the 1973 meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) a vote of the
trustees reveled that in the opinion of the members, homosexuality was no longer considered to
be a mental disorder, the change became effective in the 7th printing of the DSM-II (American
Psychiatric Association, 1973). Orthodox practitioners in the mental health profession, felt that
the change in policy was caused by pressures from the gay community and that there was
insufficient scientific evidence to support such a move by the APA (Bayer & Spitzer, 1982).

Homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in a slow process of debates and reclassifications. The initial de-classification in 1973 had a substantial impact on the treatment and social representation of homosexuals. The work done to remove the mental disorder stigma and the label of “illness” from homosexuality lead the way for many other changes and reforms across other social institutions.
