Ulrichs wrote the first known Gay male vampire story (Manor). The four stories are a fine piece of fiction from the hand of the "Architect of LGBT Pride, Community and Movement"
Ulrichs was born in Aurich, then part of the Kingdom of Hanover, in north-western Germany. He graduated in law and theology from Göttingen University in 1846. From 1846 to 1848, he studied history at Berlin University, writing a dissertation in Latin on the Peace of Westphalia.
From 1849 to 1857 Ulrichs worked as an official legal adviser for the district court of Hildesheim in the Kingdom of Hanover. He was dismissed when his homosexuality became open knowledge.
He is seen today as the pioneer of the modern gay rights movement and as the promotor of the Living Latin.
