  Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935)
Hirschfeld believed that sexual orientation was a naturally occurring trait worthy of scientific inquiry and political emancipation rather than social hostility.
Hirschfeld himself estimated that he had spoken to over 30,000 men and women in the course of his work and adamantly believed that sexual honesty was a requisite for healthy living.
This year's centenary celebrations of Hirschfeld's life and work in Berlin and San Francisco are an opportunity to for us to remember the rich history of the gay rights movement before Stonewall and to pay tribute to a man who believed that sexual liberation was an inseparable part of his life's work.

 Intersections: Magnus Hirschfeld: Panhumanism and the Sexual Cultures of Asia
Hirschfeld's travel account was meant from the outset as a contribution to sexual ethnology, a science that is 'the oldest with regard to its contents, the youngest with regard to its method'[16] among the sexological disciplines.
Hirschfeld's premise that, despite all cultural variability, the sexual dispositions and drives—'taken as a whole'[18]—remain identical among all nations and races, however, did not lead him to accept the binary pattern of traditional sexual distribution.
Hirschfeld was well aware of the limited validity of his perceptions of Asia as a result not only of the time and geographic constrictions of his journey, but also—and more importantly—of the specific cultural outlook that sustained his research and emancipatory endeavors.
