Thirty-seven years after homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, Alberta says (again) that it will finally remove homosexuality from its diagnostic code. According to information obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by human rights activist Rob Wells, between 1995 and 2004, the diagnosis was used 1,782 times.
