Wikipedia description:
Carl Pontus Wikner (19 May 1837 – 16 May 1888) was a Swedish lecturer in philosophy and professor of aesthetics in Oslo (Christiania) from 1884. Wikner's contribution to homosexual history consists foremostly of producing the first description of the problematics about homosexual identity and the coming-out process. He deposited for future research at the medical faculty in Uppsala his Psychological Self-Confessions from 1879 and diaries from 1853 to 1871. According to his own wishes, they were not published before his wife and sons - the nearest members of the family - had died.
