Background In 1970, Francesc Francino and Armand de Fluvià clandestinely created in Barcelona the Movimiento Español de Liberación Homosexual (Spanish Homosexual Liberation Movement), Spain's first ever modern association for defending homosexual rights. Its activities developed until, in 1974, it dissolved in the face of police harassment. In 1975, after dictator Francisco Franco's death, the Front d'Alliberament Gai de Catalunya (Gay Liberation Front of Catalonia) was created, although it was not legalized until 1980.2016-11-04 2016-11-05 https://web.archive.org/web/20161105225111/https://radiogay.es/barcelona-1977-primera-manifestacion-lgtb-de-espana/ radiogay.es Barcelona 1977: primera manifestación LGTB de España – radiogay.es https://radiogay.es/barcelona-1977-primera-manifestacion-lgtb-de-espana/ The Barcelona demonstration, for which the then illegal Gay Liberation Front had called, caught the press's attention and marked a turning point in the defence of lesbians', gays', transsexuals' and bisexuals' rights. When Franco died in 1975, Spain lived through an intense period in which the recognition of sexual minorities' rights was being strengthened. During Franco's dictatorship, homosexuality was legally persecuted under the law known as the "Law of Vagrants and Thugs", which was in force until 1970,21 November 2015 5 August 1933 217 874–877 Gaceta de Madrid Ley relativa a vagos y maleantes. http://www.boe.es/datos/pdfs/BOE/1933/217/A00874-00877.pdf and then under the "Law on Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation", which was not completely abolished until 1995. https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=767071 La construcción de la protesta en el movimiento gay español: la Ley de Peligrosidad Social (1970) como factor precipitante de la acción colectiva Monferrer Tomàs Jordi M. 2003 dialnet.unirioja.es Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia 14 June 2024 171–204 Being homosexual or having homosexual relations was in those days punishable by fines, and those deemed guilty of such things could even be sent to prison or to a psychiatric institution.2016-11-04 2016-11-05 https://web.archive.org/web/20161105225111/https://radiogay.es/barcelona-1977-primera-manifestacion-lgtb-de-espana/ radiogay.es Barcelona 1977: primera manifestación LGTB de España – radiogay.es https://radiogay.es/barcelona-1977-primera-manifestacion-lgtb-de-espana/ Photographic documentation The Catalan photographer Colita captured some moments on film during the demonstration, some of which make up part of the collection at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.2016-11-04 www.museoreinasofia.es Colita (Isabel Steva Hernández) - Manifestación gay, Barcelona, 1977 (Gay Demonstration, Barcelona, 1977) http://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/collection/artwork/manifestacion-gay-barcelona-1977-gay-demonstration-barcelona-1977-0 After keeping them for more than 40 years, photographer Enrique Serrano from Santa Coloma de Gramenet brought back to light some unpublished photographs that he had taken when, by chance, he had happened on the demonstration in Barcelona, when he was 17 years old.2023-04-07 2023-03-04 ca Redacció 'Nosaltres som' d’Enrique Serrano https://www.infograma.cat/nosaltres-som-denrique-serrano/ Infograma.cat2023-04-07 2018-11-11 Manuel es Arenas Enrique Serrano: "Santa Coloma lo es todo en mi vida" https://www.elperiodico.com/es/entre-todos/20181111/enrique-serrano-santa-coloma-lo-es-todo-en-mi-vida-7140335 elperiodico See also LGBT rights in Spain LGBT history in Spain International LGBT Pride Day References 2 Category:LGBTQ history in Spain Category:1977 in Spain Category:LGBTQ civil rights demonstrations Category:LGBTQ events in Spain
