RIP: Dr. Alfred Freedman, who led the drive to declare homosexuality was not a mental disorder in 1973


From Towleroad.com: Dr. Alfred Freedman, who was president of the American Psychiatric Association when it declared that homosexuality was not a mental disorder in 1973, has died at the age of 94. The ruling subsequently led to the removal of homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
