In September, 1974, dozens of lesbian and gay demonstrators entered the British Medical Association's 'Congress on Psycho-sexual Problems' in Bradford, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The demonstrators demanded a discussion on why the medical profession viewed lesbians and gay men negatively and why 'aversion therapy' in the form of electric shocks was still used to attempt to make lesbians and gay men heterosexual. Pictured are some of the demonstrators debating with attendees of the Congress. An organiser of the Congress is at the podium.
