Since psychiatry no longer labels gays mentally ill, why does religion?
Well, first I'm curious about why it took so long for psychiatry to stop labeling homosexuality as a mental illness.
From what I understand, it was quite a slow process and took several decades. There were a few key moments that helped shift attitudes, such as the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) in 1973. This was a big step forward for LGBTQ+ rights and paved the way for further progress.
