The May 17, 1990 the General Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. This fact was intended to end nearly a century of medical homophobia. The decision of the WHO constitutes a historic date, after that in 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA, by its initials in English) removed homosexuality from the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is the manual used by mental health professionals to carry out their diagnoses clinicians, and also urged to reject any legislation that discriminates against gays and lesbians. The action was triggered by a comprehensive scientific review of research that until then had been made.
Among the most striking highlights of Alfred Kinsey, who performed in the Kinsey Report said, the first mass survey on sexuality in America. Their study found that homosexuality was a behavior much less rare than previously believed and helped bring to light an unknown aspect of society. Similarly outstanding research article on the adaptation of openly gay male American psychologist Evelyn Hooker, who conducted psychological tests to groups of homosexual and heterosexual people and asked experts, based on these tests, identify which corresponded to homosexual individuals. The experiment, which other researchers have since replicated, showing that gays do not have a worse social adjustment or pathology associated with his homosexuality.
Thus on 17 May 1990, the WHO removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses, and later, in December of 1998, the APA said he was opposed to any psychiatric or psychological treatment, as therapy "Reparative" or conversion, to take homosexuality as a mental disorder under the assumption that the patient should change their sexual orientation homoerotic. With this, the APA joined many other professional organizations that oppose or are critical to therapy "remedial."
