129: History of Medicine & Queers

Today we celebrate and recognize the 47th anniversary of homosexuality being delisted as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. Of course, there was and continues to be much work to be done for the LGBTQ+ in relation to the field of medicine. However, today we want to focus on the wins over the last century and how our movement went from a group of so-called insane, sexual deviants, to a thriving, openly queer revolution. And as we look back on this year and the devastating effects of COVID-19, we want to dedicate this episode to the frontline healthcare workers who have remained in the trenches against insurmountable odds. Your work and your sacrifices are seen and appreciated. Join us on Patreon!
