CURED explores the historic campaign that led the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses in 1973.
Check out the official trailer for #CUREDdocumentary, which introduces the LGBTQ activists who refused to accept psychiatry’s mental-illness label and changed history. Learn more: https://t.co/4wJVbhPgYc https://t.co/vSDa3Qb0iO

Happy Pride! We’re thrilled to announce that #CUREDdocumentary is available once again for in-flight streaming on @AmericanAir flights. We’re excited that for the next year American flyers will be able to learn about this monumental moment in LGBTQ history.
Conversion therapy, a “treatment” that claims to change a person’s gender identity or sexuality, has been widely discredited by every major medical organization in the country, including the American Psychiatric Association. Read more about the ruling: https://t.co/IsOAYjZ1Vg.
In the wake of last week’s Supreme Court decision, in which eight justices ruled against a Colorado law that banned conversion therapy for minors, LGBTQ+ activists are searching for the next steps to protect young people from this harmful practice.
“This decision is narrowly about how conversion therapy can be regulated. It does not mean that conversion therapy is safe or legal. Conversion therapy is still medical malpractice and consumer fraud,” said @shannonminter5, legal director for @NCLRights.
After the 55-minute film, New York Law School Professor Emeritus Arthur S. Leonard will speak with CURED co-director @PatrickSammonDC and @LambdaLegal Senior Counsel Omar Gonzalez-Pagan about today’s struggle for LGBTQ+ equality. To register, visit https://t.co/ueCuvS5hqv.
