Chinese Psychiatric Association Takes Homosexuality Off Mental Disorders List
Submitted by Scott on Thu, 2001-03-15 21:02
China has taken a significant step toward the toleration of homosexuality by removing it from the list of mental illnesses created by the country's main Psychological Association. "China is to remove homosexuality from the official list of mental illness. Up to now homosexuality has been automatically included by the Chinese Psychiatric Association (CPA) in its diagnostic manual." The American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973. The Irish Times article can be read here.Source: The Irish Times [UK newspaper]
