SPAIN
SPAIN during Franco’s dictatorship
Slackers and criminals A law against homosexuals
People doesn’t realize what it was to be a *** during Franco’s dictatorship
Law was against us,
religion was against us, and military against us too.
and there were a lot of parents against homosexuality
Which preferred to have a dead son than an homosexual one
Or threw them home away when they knew they were gay
Or beat them beaten to death or not let them go out
Or that they report to police
Even worse than murderers
because they kill and that's it
We could corrupt youth which was still worse
People taught that everything was very easy after Franco’s death in 1975
that minorities acquired freedom
Note that there were two amniesties in 1975 that put political prisoners in the street
and yet repressed homosexual and interned in camps and in prisons
there are still locked, and homosexual associations are still illegal.
Carla Antonelli is a person born during Franco’s dictatorship
And at 17 left his home in the middle post-Franco era
Suffered repression by police during that days
Suffered beatings and persecution in jail
This law of social dangerousness during 25 years in this country made many accomplices
it wasn’t just a dictatorship question or dictatory power
that law had consensus in the social field, in the social orders and among families
and had a terrible consensus of the Catholic Church as well.
We have the example of Antonio Ruiz which confesses his nun aunt to be gay when he was 16
his nun aunt denounces him directly to the police and he’ll be incarcerated for 16 years
from there he begins a life of torment made of persecution and tortures
because there were still torture for being homosexual
and we must not forget that lesbians girls were not incarcerated
but it was not unusual that they suffered electroshock therapy
It’s full to the brim of gay and lesbians married with children in high society
In the highest level of society
Interviewer: can you repeat the gesture of the “highest level” ?
In the highest level
Interviewer: you know someone and me too
Yes I know them, in the highest level of the society
Interviewer: but in the very top field
Very top!
It’s true that we too paid a really heavy price for “coming out"
Ok, yes yes yes we pay very dearly, I had to pay in first person
For instance when I moved into the publishing world, I’ve always been called the sissy editor
I always am Mili Hernandez, owner of the gay publishing society, the gay publishing
I’m married and my daily routine is to clean house, make lunch for my husband which works
This is my daily life so I’m sorry it might not be the right expression to call myself a housewife, but I’m
I’ve been one of the first transexual to be operated in Spain
You have to think that during that days we didn’t had any kind of information
No one knew anything about anything
Now maybe with the chance to change your name in your ID card
If you’re lucky to do not look like a transexual you no longer have to explain who you are
But if you’re not, it’s prohibited to go to gym and if you want to find a job, they say ‘you’re not the profile we’re looking for’
We all have the same rights, in that there’s no difference
Recording of an assault to a young gay in USA
What didn’t changed is the sufferance that teenage, boys, young gay, bisexual, transgender go through
A recent study tells that 65% of young people and LGBT teens
teens suffers some kind of verbal and psychological
harassment for their homosexual orientation
This documentary is called “The Pink Wall”
I’d tell you, I’d say that even the walls that lie down are
are those of misinformation and ignorance.
But still many “Pink Walls” are about to be brought down in Spain and outside Spain.
Outside Spain is horrible, in too many countries outside Spain
being homosexual or *** is still punished with death, with death or jail.
authentic pictures of homosexual hanged in Iran
they’re just one example of many others who have paid with their life for being gay
I’d say them what they really are: murderers.
You are murderers, murderers.
And I hope sooner or later they’ll pay for what they’ve done,
but what’ll happen is that many of you will be dead.
But you’re murderers, and you know it, murderers.
Life
Boy?
Girl?
Who cares? It's their life.
Everybody must have the same rights.
