Popis: In the 1860's with an innovative theory of the origin of homosexuality that saw it as neither a sin nor a sickness, the German lawyer Karl Heinrich Ulrich's become an outspoken defender of its practice. This paper describes the theory, placing it historically in the context of Ulrich's' life, and shows why, although progressive for its time, the theory eventually was abandoned.
