Karl Heinrich Ulrichs was not the first gay person, but he is often recognized as one of the first individuals to publicly identify as homosexual and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in the 19th century. His writings in the 1860s laid foundational ideas for modern LGBTQ+ identity and rights movements. Throughout history, many individuals have experienced same-sex attraction and identified as gay long before Ulrichs, but he played a significant role in giving a voice to this identity in a societal context.
