Its a good thing the APA has very little real influence
Among Liberals, the APA's pronouncements are treated like gospel. They become talking points for all manner of abominations. Where do you think this Cult of Victimology sprang from? That's right...the APA.
And it wasn't until the Leftists took over the APA and banished homosexuality from the DSM-II that the homosexual agenda began to blossom in the United States.
