Before the term "homosexual" was coined by a doctor Karl Maria Benkert, the study of same-sex love was already explored by one lawyer.
In 1864, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs established "Uranism", which he described as the third sexuality derived from a female spirit trapped in a body of a man.
In his theory, there is a male spirit in each man's body, and a female spirit in each woman's body. What he calls Uranism is when this concept is denied; when one possesses a contradicting spirit-body bond.
Of course, some may disagree with his definition of homosexuality, for he claimed that gay people are all sissy or half-woman.
However,as he launched the idea that homosexuality is innate and congenital, he is considered the first Gay activist.
Wanna know more about him?
