Dr. Henry Anonymous Soup & Salad

This meal was named for a very important LGBT hero and the impact made by a single speech he gave in 1972. Spring is a good time to visit meals of soups & salads. A time to look at new ways to enjoy vegetables. This hearty – healthy meal is full of surprise and great taste. 

 

Roasted carrots and onions reveal their full flavor profile in this easy soup. The interesting salad with bacon, tomatoes and cucumbers offer a nice clean spring time touch.

Carrot Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs baby carrots
• 1 large yellow onion,
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus additional to taste
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus additional to taste
• 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions:
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line & generously coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside. 
 

Cut the onions into wedges. Chop the garlic.

Place the carrots, onions, and garlic in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. 

 

Toss to evenly coat, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring that the vegetables do not crowd one another. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning twice throughout, until the vegetables are tender and browned.

(while that roasts is a great time to made the salad!)

When carrots and onions have a brown touch to them, add to dutch oven on the stove top, with the chicken broth. Stir well and bring to simmer for about 15 minutes.

Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

With an immersion blender blend the soup until it is the consistency you wish.

Dr. John E. Fryer

No one could miss “Dr. Anonymous”! A large man (over 300 lbs and six foot four) wearing that hideous mask! The 1972 annual American Psychiatric Association conference had never seen anything like it! Psychiatric medicine was slowly changing.

1948 Alfred Kinsey's report stated homosexuality was natural and common.

In 1950 Barbara Gittings searched the medical and law branches for information about “homosexuality” and found nothing helpful.

Dr. Evelyn Hooker, published her paper "The Adjustment of the Male Overt Homosexual in 1957. She argued that homosexuality is not a mental disorder, as there was no detectable difference between homosexual and heterosexual men in terms of mental adjustment.

LGBT activist Dr. Frank Kameny, in a 1960 Supreme Court case, Stated being homosexual wsa natural and good. Kameny joined with Barbara Gittings in an effort to force the American Psychiatric Association to declare the homosexuality was not a disease.

In 1971 Dr. Kameny disrupted the APA annual meeting by grabbing the microphone and proclaiming:

“We’re not the problem. You’re the problem.”

Now at this panel discussion was “Dr. Henry Anonymous”, in reality Dr. John E. Fryer. wearing the mask and using a microphone that would distort his voice the doctor. He proclaimed: “I am a homosexual, I am a psychiatrist”.

The mask made its own statement about not being able to be open. John was risking his job. He had been fired once, and could lose his position at Temple University. Wearing the mask was both very powerful and very rational.

For the first-time, in 1972, psychiatrists were exposed to another psychiatrist who was gay.

Dr. Fryer continued to describe the lives of the many gay psychiatrists among the APA who had to hide their sexuality from their colleagues for fear of discrimination, and from fellow homosexuals owing to the hatred for what the psychiatric profession was doing to the gay community.

Fryer's speech also suggested ways in which gay psychiatrists could subtly and "creatively" challenge prejudice in their profession without disclosing their sexuality, and help gay patients adjust to a society that considered their sexual preferences a sign of psychopathology. There were reportedly more than 100 gay psychiatrists at the convention.

For 20 years after finding in 1952 that homosexuals were ''ill primarily in terms of society and of conformity with the prevailing social milieu,'' the psychiatric association included homosexuality in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, an official list of mental illnesses. It stamped homosexuals as emotional deviants and lent medical authority to laws that made homosexual acts and even homosexuals' public gatherings illegal. “Homosexuality as a mental illness” was used as for many homophobic local state and federal statutes and regulations, and ‘cures’ which now look barbarian.

This single speech led the way for so many positive changes that its effects are hard to describe. Homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual in 1973, a year after Fryer's speech.

Anti-gay laws could now be challenged. In addition, the APA’s declassification was the first official repudiation of those who sought to “cure” homosexuality. That battle continues today, with various states finally writing laws against so-called “conversion therapy.”

That mask is more famous than Dr. Fryer! It’s such a metaphor for queer history. The outer behavior is what the public sees and remembers, not the event behind that.

Dr. Fryer first declared his true identity, as the man behind the mask, in 1985.

In 2002, the year before he died, Dr. Fryer received two awards, a “distinguished alumnus” award from Vanderbilt University, and a Distinguished Service Award from the organization now known as the Association of LGBTQ Psychiatrists.

This powerful proclamation by a man in a mask changed the course of LGBT history and human rights. It focused the hard work of so many others and channeled their efforts into a positive force.
