Hirschfeld was an early 20th century German sexologist persecuted by the Nazi regime, which sacked his Institut für Sexualwissenschaft and burned its library in 1933. Both gay and Jewish, Hirschfeld was an early and vocal advocate for gay and transgender rights. On an American speaking tour in 1930, he advised following "love's natural turns," and encouraged people to accept that all forms of love and sexuality are natural.
