Description

The legalization file of the Gay Liberation Front of Catalonia (FAGC), between 1979 and 1980, documents the process of legal recognition of the first political and social struggle organization of the gay movement in Catalonia. This document is key to understanding the institutionalization of LGTBIQ+ claims in a context of political change. The legalization of the FAGC represents a decisive step towards equal rights and the visibility of a historically marginalized group. The document connects with the European movements for civil rights and with the values ​​of freedom, dignity and non-discrimination that define the European Union. Catalonia, with this precedent, is positioned as a pioneering territory in the defense of sexual and gender rights within the European space.
