How one woman’s research in the 1940s changed queer life foreverThis Pride month, we saw a landmark victory for LGBTQ workers’ rights in the Supreme Court, and the fifth anniversary of gay marriage!One person we have to thank for that is UCLA’s Dr. Evelyn Hooker, who sought to change the understanding of homosexuality as a mental illness in the 1940s.
