MOS: Dr. Evelyn Hooker
Hooker then gave those results- blinded- to a panel of clinicians and asked them to sort out the gays and the straights. Which was a thing psychological science was supposed to be able to do because these people had a real mental illness, right? Riiiight?
MOS: Gay Sex in the Wilderness
