Thanks to APA President Steven Sharfstein, M.D., for his thoughtful, eloquent essay in the September 16 issue titled “Psychiatry and Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Civil Marriage.” He addressed all the relevant mental health issues involved in this most important and positive decision by APA's Board of Trustees.

I am proud to be a member of an organization willing to take important humanitarian stands on questions of the day, controversial or not.
