Fifty years ago today, the American Psychiatric Association dropped “homosexuality” from its list of mental disorders. The historic event was lauded as a key advancement for the cause of LGBTQ+ equality.

Prior to Dec. 15, 1973, the APA had classified homosexuality as a mental illness. But in 1964, gay men and lesbians began to openly protest that stigmatizing label.

Barbara Gittings and Kay Lahusen were lesbian activists who emphatically opposed the label. They lived together in Philadelphia and managed to convince another Philadelphian, gay psychiatrist Dr.

John E. Fryer, to address an APA annual convention in May 1972 in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Fryer addressed the assembled psychiatrists wearing a mask and with his voice distorted.

Francis Ford Coppola Confirms ‘Megalopolis’ For Early 2024 Release: “It’s Only Going To Be A Few Months And It’ll Be Out”

2024 has a ton of anticipated movies on its release calendar, but none have the same mystique as Francis Ford Coppola‘s “Megalopolis.” The long-gestating, self-financed titan of a film went into production in November 2022, wrapped shooting in March 2023, and …well, since then, FFC has been editing, tinkering, etc. After Coppola stated last May that the film wouldn’t reach audiences in 2023, many wondered if the director had hit a couple of snares in post-production.

‘All Illusions Must Be Broken’ Documentary Probes Mankind’s Capacity for Violence

Steven Gaydos Executive VP of Content “Do you guys ever think about dying?” asks the titular toy at the center of Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s inventive and ambitious screenplay for the mega-hit comedy “Barbie.” In their yarn, the virus of death awareness is planted in Barbie World by a daydreaming Mattel employee named Gloria, who randomly sketches Thoughts of Impending Death Barbie at work one day, thus triggering the tale of the famed doll’s journey from plastic prop to self-empowered woman. I wasn’t daydreaming, but I was casually musing out loud on X, formerly known as Twitter, after my first viewing of “Barbie” about how the film seemed heavily influenced by a book I first read 50 years ago: Ernest Becker’s 1974 Pulitzer Prize winner, “The Denial of Death.” For the uninitiated, Becker’s central thesis is summarized in “Death” as “the idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity — activity designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny for man.” I quickly got a private message from documentary filmmaker Laura Dunn.
