Description

The letter sent by the editors of Lambda magazine, a counterculture publication of the Italian gay movement, to the Gay Liberation Front of Catalonia (FAGC), in 1980, is a key document that demonstrates the network of solidarity and exchange between European LGTBIQ+ groups. This communication, which proposes the publication of a letter addressed to the international gay movement, shows how the FAGC was part of a transnational movement that shared struggles, strategies and values. The document reflects the will to build a diverse Europe, free and respectful of sexual and gender identities. It is witness to how Catalonia, since its beginnings in the fight for LGTBIQ+ rights, has been connected to the European currents of social and cultural transformation.
