ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

From 1981-1984, members of the American Psychological Association and an independent organization, the Association of Lesbian and Gay Psychologists, petitioned APA to create a new division focusing on lesbian and gay issues. Division 44 of APA, the Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian and Gay Issues, was founded in 1985. Its members are mostly academic and applied psychologists and most are members of APA.
