Association of LGBTQ Psychiatrists

The Association of LGBTQ Psychiatrists, originally the Association of Gay and Lesbian Psychiatrists (AGLP), is an organization that educates and advocates on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) mental health issues.

The organization informally began in the late 1960s, when lesbian and gay members of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) met during its annual conferences.

Following the APA's declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973, the Caucus of Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Members of the American Psychiatric Association was officially founded.

A primary function of the caucus was to advocate to the APA on LGBT mental health issues.

The Association of Gay and Lesbian Psychiatrists grew out of the caucus, and was founded in 1985.
