New story: from sodomite to homosexual

The Utrecht rainbow canon adds a new story: "From sodomite to homosexual". A whole parade of domestic and especially foreign 'experts' sought explanations for deviant sexual behaviour. Whereas at first we only knew the sodomite, in the course of the century the pederast, the uranist, the urninde and the homosexual, among others, made their appearance. Maurice van Lieshout outlines the development in the 19th century.
