Heinrich Marx, ou a tentação do guetto
"Once the Uranian nature of an individual has been certified, the individual should be officially registered as an Urning under a special name and should dress adcordingly.
In the interests of morality, it would be advisable for the Urning, in nocturnal roaming of streets and public places in the town of residence, to refrain from visiting taverns unaccompanied and especially to behave in a decent and modest fashion beffiting his womanly role"
Heirich Marx, Urningsliebe (1875)
Urnanian: Love directed towards a man must be feminine thus the use of the Latin phrase anima muliebris virili corpore inclusa (a female soul trapped in a male body), and the coining of the term 'Urning' (Uranian) for such a person. This is a reference to Plato's Symposium in which Pausanias postulates two gods of love, the Uranian (Heavenly) Eros who governs principled male love, whereas the Pandernian (Vulgar) Eros governs heterosexual or purely licentious relations. Károly Mária Kertbeny later invented alternative words such as Homosexualität.
