Chronology of LGBT historical events:

• 1910 - An engineering student, and son of a professor, was arrested at the YMCA for homosexual conduct in Denver and committed suicide.
• 1914 - Early German gay rights activist and sexologist, Magnus Hirschfeld wrote the following in his book "Homosexuality in Men and Women".

"A Uranian scholar from the state of Colorado writes: I know quite a number of homosexuals in Denver, personally or by hearsay. At this moment I can think of 5 musicians, 3 teachers, 3 art dealers, one minister, one judge, two actors, one florist, and one womens tailor. Parties are given by a young artist of exquisite taste and a noble turn of mind, and some of his homosexual friends appear at these in women's clothing. Prostitution is not common in Denver, male prostitution can sometimes be met in the Capital Gardens, but not a large number of them".

"six of the nine messeurs who work in the baths in Denver are known to be tolerant and are probably themselves homosexual."
