Karl Heinrich Ulrichs

On 29 August 1867, #samesex #lgbt #gay #homosexual #sexuality #history #socialhistory ">Ulrichs became the first homosexual to speak out publicly in defense of homosexuality when he pleaded at the Congress of German Jurists in Munich for a resolution urging the repeal of anti-homosexual laws. Thereafter, he began publishing his books under his own name as an 'urning' apologist for the cause (possibly the first instance of a sexually modern "coming out"). In 1868, the Austrian writer Karl-Maria Kertbeny coined the word "homosexual" in a letter to Ulrichs, and from the 1870s the subject of sexual orientation (in modern words) began to be widely discussed.

The 'map nerds' who are building a national archive | BBC News

When Anne Burgess isn't skiing or flying a glider, you are likely to find her roaming around some of Scotland's remotest locations, camera and map in hand.
The retired tourism officer from Fochabers in Moray is one of an army of volunteers whose mission is to capture and document rural and urban locations and share free-to-use images with the public.
They form a unique online community project called Geograph, a charity which aims to collect "geographically representative" photographs and information about every square kilometre of Britain and Ireland.
