Definición

  • Plato may have offered the first explanation of homosexuality as an inborn trait in the Symposium, written in the 5th century b.c.e.: he suggests that all humans originally were paired, and homosexuals are the separated halves of male-male pairs. Two pioneers of the modern study of sexuality, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825–95) and Magnus Hirschfeld (1868–1935) also believed that homosexuality was an innate characteristic.
