Comments:The show is based on Alix Spiegel's "This American Life" episode, 81 WORDS, as well as the soon-to-be-released PBS documentary CURED directed by Bennett Singer and Patrick Sammon.

Description: The series tells the true story of gay activists Frank Kameny and Barbara Gittings, who risked their career reputations to conspire with the GAYPA - a clandestine group of closeted psychiatrists - to challenge the American Psychiatric Association's definition of homosexuality. Until 1974, the medical establishment considered gay people sexually deviant and diagnosed them as mentally ill.
