ilikesallydonovan:It should be noted that he was not the first queer activist in Germany: that was Karl Heinz Ulrichs, who publicly advocated for decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1867. This is not to take away Hirschfeld’s achievements - far from it. It’s a reminder that our history goes a lot further back than people think, despite attempts to erase this history. Long, well worth reading!  (Note for Thomas and the Island readers:  If some of this sounds familiar, it’s because this guy influenced Havelock Ellis, who was in turn the inspiration for Dr. L. in the fic.  IIRC, Ellis extensively quotes Hirschfeld’s writings in Sexual Inversion, the book I leaned on when writing about Dr. L.’s treatment philosophy and methodology.)   -- source link
