Since 1895, when Oscar Wilde was put on trial, almost 80 years passed until the beginning of the process that led to delete homosexuality from DSM (APA) and contributed to its despenalization. Over that period, moral and legal persecution and mass killings in concentrations camps gave way to gay pride. Here we analyze this process in relation to DSM and we search for answers to the question of why homosexuality between consenting adults was far more persecuted than sexual behaviors that clearly affects the rights of other persons as paedophilia or rape.
自1895年奥斯卡·王尔德受审以来，将近80年过去了，才开始了导致将同性恋从《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》（美国精神病学协会）中删除并促成其非刑事化的进程。在那段时期，道德和法律迫害以及集中营里的大规模屠杀逐渐被同性恋自豪所取代。在此，我们分析这一与《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》相关的进程，并探寻为何成年人间的同性恋比恋童癖或强奸等明显侵犯他人权利的性行为受到更多迫害这一问题的答案。
