Happy Premiere Day @cureddoc!CURED tells the story of the activists who brought about a pivotal victory in the movement for LGBTQ equality and dignity: the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses.#curedfilmpbs

[The Advocate @TheAdvocateMag]

As late as 1973, those in the psychiatric establishment considered homosexuality a mental illness that could be "cured," a view that's still reflected by conversion therapy today. #CuredFilmPBS https://t.co/5x48Ij6cga

Today @PBS @IndependentLens is airing #CuredFilmPBS, which chronicles the struggle that led the @apa to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses in 1973. #PBS #LGBTHistoryMonth #NationalComingOutDay
