A letter written by Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud kind of shows him defending homosexuality. Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, wrote the letter in German from his London home. In the letter, Freud responds to a question about sexual orientation from a concerned writer who may know a queer person. Freud writes "I cannot agree with your calling homosexuality a vice or a crime.” However, Freud called homosexuality an unfortunate trait and mentioned that if a person is trying to overcome this trait, it is justified. In the letter, Freud also mentioned that several of the greatest men in history were homosexual. The correspondence, dated December 6, 1938, was up for auction at the Boston-based RR Auction house. According to the RR Auction website, the item is sold for the significant amount of $56,250. #Queer Up Gay Culture
