To observe Mad Pride Day in 2021, on July 15, 2021, MadFreedom hosted a screening of the documentary CURED, and a post-screening discussion that included the filmmaker and a protagonist from the documentary along with Vermonters Malaika Puffer and Etan Nasreddin-Longo, as panelists.
CURED purported to tell the story of how homosexuality as a mental illness was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in the 1970s.
