Global Discovery Series - The First Homosexuals: Imaging a New Global Identity 1869-1929

12:00pm

The term “homosexual” was coined in 1869 by the Hungarian writer Karl-Maria Kertbeny, materializing a shift in understanding same-sex desire from verb to noun, from something you did to something you were. "Homosexuality" actually preceded the "discovery" of "heterosexuality," but they were soon paired, producing a new account of sexuality as necessarily binary, structured by two opposing polarities.  (Previously same-sex and different-sex sexuality were not seen in opposition, and many people experienced both.)
