A lawyer and journalist, Ulrichs publicly declared his sexual preferences in 1867, advocating for the repeal of repressive laws before dying in exile in 1895. Hirschfeld succeeded him, establishing a Scientific-Humanitarian Committee in 1897 and an Institute for Sexual Research in 1919, providing medical, psychological, and legal support for homosexuals, though the institute was later targeted and destroyed by the Nazis in 1933. Notable signatories to Hirschfeld's petition to repeal paragraph 175 of German law criminalizing “acts against nature” included Stefan Zweig, Albert Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, and '''[[Thomas Mann]]'''. Despite these efforts, a wave of homophobia swept Germany following the [[Wikipedia:Eulenburg_affair|Eulenburg affair of 1907-09]].<ref>Marco Fraquelli, Omosessuali di destra, Rubbettino, pag. 98-99.</ref> Concurrently, the Anarchist '''[[Wikipedia:Adolf_Brand|Adolf Brand]]''' founded ''Der Eigene'' in 1896, the first homosexual periodical in the world, advocating "outing" famous gay men and challenging social norms. Brand's anarchist radicalism contrasted with Hirschfeld's [[Communism|socialism]], and his writings have been reclaimed by romanticist anarchists (although they often omit his nationalist and elitist views). <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">In 1900, Brand published the first anthology of gay poetry in Germany, called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieblingminne_und_Freundesliebe_in_der_Weltliteratur ''Lieblingminne und Freundesliebe in der Weltliteratur''] [Favourite love and love of friends in world literature]. Compiled by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisar_von_Kupffer# Elisar von Kupffer], he wrote a politically charged preface which argued in favor of a homosexuality that is not just "tolerated" by society, but is an integral part of the social fabric. For von Kupffer, homosexuality brought with it homosocial bonds that strengthened society in ways that heterosexual relationships could not. He argued against what he perceived as Magnus Hirschfeld's notion of a third sex, and opposed a notion of "gay" which hinged on a feminized model of male behavior. </ins></div></td></tr>
