APA, Homosexuality and Sexual Orientation Disturbance : Proposed Change in DSM-II, 6th Printing, p. 44 (APA Doc. Ref. No. 730008, 1973) (reclassifying "homosexuality" as a "[s]exual orientation disturbance," a category "for individuals whose sexual interests are directed primarily toward people of the same sex and who are either disturbed by ... or wish to change their sexual orientation," and explaining that "homosexuality ... by itself does not constitute a psychiatric disorder"); see also APA, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 281-282 (3d ed. 1980) (DSM-III) (similarly creating category of "Ego-dystonic Homosexuality" for "homosexuals for whom changing sexual orientation is a persistent concern," while observing that "homosexuality itself is not considered a mental disorder"); Obergefell v. Hodges , 576 U.S. 644, 661, 135 S.Ct. 2584, 192 L.Ed.2d 609 (2015).
