Hm. You'd think my Queer Activism class would give me some insight. I'd almost say the early 1900's, but those works don't generally refer to it as 'love'. And I'd say more modern, but the fact that they refer to homosexuality as 'traces' and 'pronounced' is odd for a time when it's been declassified as a mental disorder for like, 40 years.

I guess I'd say something like the 70's? Just because of my above rationalizations. I'm curious to know the answer.

... Really? Who wrote this, and where were they from? (Havelock Ellis, maybe?) Seeing as Oscar Wilde is about to be put away for sodomy, I would like to know where this was being said.

Albert Moll, Germany. According to the book I'm reading, he later wasn't so kind.
I'm reading "Strangers: Homosexual Love in the 19th Century" right now, and it's incredibly fascinating.

Ah, well. See, Germans were ahead of the game. That explains everything. :)

My Histories of Queer Activism class is teaching me all sorts of madness. Though I am discovering that even a topic that is important and relevent is still capable of making you burn out and scream, "GOD I DON'T CARE ANYMORE" when you are doing academic work on it.
