The instant cure for homosexuality + Bob Newhart's gay patient: November video update!

Added 2020-11-16 17:01:04 +0000 UTC

Hello Patreon pals!

Hugest of huge thanks to you all for your support here on Patreon! Since you're a backer, you get a little sneak peek at the stuff I'm working on, and this month I'm chugging away on a new video about the odd connection between The Bob Newhart Show and the American Psychological Association's 1970s-era decision that homosexuality is not, in fact a mental illness.

The video should be coming your way next week, complete with lots of FASCINATING newspaper headlines around the time -- stuff like "homosexuals aren't mentally ill, so what are they?" ... and also incredible footage of the ways that psychiatrists talked about queer people back in the day. (I'm also trying out a new format with my videos, so thanks to everyone who's given me feedback so far! And definitely let me know what you want to see in my videos in the future.)

Patrons at the $10+ levels will get early ad-free access -- thank you again for all of your support on Patreon, and I can't wait for you to see what I'm putting together this time!

Matt
