Continue to ChatWhen I started writing Tales of the City I was one year away from being a mental illness. It wasn't until 1975 that the American Psychiatric Association took homosexuality off the list of mental illnesses - and in many states, including the state of North Carolina where I grew up, homosexuality was a crime. An arrestable crime. It still is, in many parts of the world. - Armistead Maupin from https://whatsmyquote.com/quote/when-i-started-writing-tales-of-the-city-i-was-one-year-away-from-being-a-mental-illness-it-wasn-t-until-1975
