description: "Evelyn Hooker was an American psychologist known for her 1956 paper \"The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual\" in which she administered several psychological tests to groups of self-identified male homosexuals and heterosexuals and asked experts to identify the homosexuals and rate their mental health. The experiment, which other researchers subsequently repeated, found that homosexuality was not a mental disorder, as there was no detectable difference between homosexual and heterosexual men in terms of mental adjustment."
