Charles Silverstein, a psychologist and therapist who played a key role in getting homosexuality declassified as a mental illness, died Jan. 30 at 87. He had lung cancer, according to his executor Aron Berlinger.
"Before I came out, I was not very brave. When I came out, I came out all the way, not just sexually but politically," Silverstein told the Rutgers Oral History Archives in 2019.
