Dr Ruth Westheimer, the renowned sex therapist known for revolutionizing public conversations about intimacy and sexuality, left a profound impact on the LGBTQIA+ community throughout her career.

Her passing at the age of 96 in her New York City home, just over a month after celebrating her 96th birthday, marked the end of an era for those who cherished her open and inclusive approach to discussing sex.

Beginning with her groundbreaking radio show «Sexually Speaking» in the early 1980s, Dr. Ruth quickly became a beloved figure for her compassionate guidance on navigating the complexities of human sexuality.

During the tumultuous period of the AIDS crisis, Dr. Ruth stood out as a staunch advocate for gay men, promoting safe sex practices and eradicating stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Ruth’s inclusive and non-judgmental stance towards all consensual adult sexual activities made her a beacon of acceptance for the LGBTQIA+ community, who often faced discrimination and misinformation about their sexuality.
