APA Endorsed Marriage Equality Seven Years Ago Today | Seven years ago today, the American Psychological Association fully endorsed marriage equality for same-sex couples. The policy statement pointed out that having the ability to marry would provide security and mental health benefits, thus combating the “minority stress” stigma imposes upon couples. As the largest professional organization of psychologists, the APA encourages all of its members “to act to eliminate all discrimination against same-sex couples in their practice, research, education, and training.”
