Forty-four years ago, the American Psychiatric Association<\/a> (APA) — the largest psychiatric organization in the world — made history by issuing a resolution<\/a> stating that homosexuality was not a mental illness or sickness. This declaration helped shift public opinion, marking a major milestone for LGBTQ equality.\"\"<\/p>\n

The resolution stated, \u201cWe will no longer insist on a label of sickness for individuals who insist that they are well and demonstrate no generalized impairment in social effectiveness.\u201d<\/strong> The statement continued to say the APA supports \u201ccivil rights legislation at local, state, and Federal levels that would insure homosexual citizens the same protections now guaranteed to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, more than 40 years later, LGBTQ advocates are still fighting to achieve that reality. Despite significant steps forward, 31 states still lack clear, fully-inclusive non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people, meaning that LGBTQ people are at risk of being fired, denied housing, and denied services for who they are or whom they love.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why HRC is fighting to pass The Equality Act<\/a>, which would provide consistent and explicit federal non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs and jury service.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the APA has continued to advocate for LGBTQ people, including forcefully opposing<\/a> the dangerous practice of so-called \u201cconversion therapy\u201d and opposing<\/a> the Trump-Pence Administration\u2019s ban on qualified transgender people serving in the military.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
