Radical Homosexual Changed American Culture

October 12, 2006 – Frank Kameny, a radical homosexual activist throughout his long career, was honored last week by the Library of Congress when it took possession of his private papers for archiving at the library.Kameny became involved in what was known as the Gay Liberation Movement back in the 1950s, wrote one of the first legal briefs to legalize homosexuality and was instrumental in subverting the American Psychiatric Association in 1973 into removing homosexuality as a mental disorder from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, writing in “The Trojan Couch: How the Mental Health Guilds Allow Medical Diagnostics, Scientific Research and Jurisprudence to be Subverted in Lockstep with the Political Aims of their Gay Sub-Components” describes how Kameny subverted the APA: http://www.narth.com/docs/TheTrojanCouchSatinover.pdf

Satinover writes: “Kameny’s cadre, with forged credentials provided by allies on the inside (some at the very top) [of the APA] broke into a special lifetime service award meeting. They grabbed the microphone, and Kameny declared: ‘Psychiatry is the enemy incarnate. Psychiatry has waged a relentless war of extermination against us. … We’re rejecting you as our owners. You make take this as our declaration of war.’”
