About this Event
This talk examines key instances of medical injustice against LGBTQ people in the U.S., ranging from the criminalization and pathologization of homosexuality in the late 19th century to the role of psychiatry in state-sanctioned punishment in the mid-twentieth century. From conversion therapy to transgender medicine to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, medicine has long been cruel towards its LGBTQ patients. We will lay out why a reckoning with this legacy is so vital for those seeking to create a positive and affirming approach to the health needs of LGBTQ people going forward.
