First sentence: It is now 30 years since the American Psychiatric Association deleted homosexuality per se as a mental disorder from the second edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1968), and the history of this remarkable transformative event has been well-described elsewhere (Bayer. 1981; Bayer and Spitzer, 1982; Spitzer. 1981; see also Nakajima. 2003).
