    According to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) only 5% of psychologists supported a gay-affirmative stance in 1991. As of 2005, the number was 58%. (Link to PDF)

    We've come far, it's true, but we need to get that number to 100%.

    I dont know, a jump of 50%+ in fifteen years seems like fairly good progress as it is. the big issue is outlawing reperative therapy in america. doing so will help greatly.
