The definitive essay to expose LGBTphobia within the PP and the rest of the Spanish right-wing parties.
Is the Partido Popular homophobic?
In this seemingly simple question lies the origin of this volume, a journey through recent Spain in search of an answer. Nacho Esteban reviews the evolution of the main Spanish institutions, especially since the Transition, and compares the policies and statements of the different national parties towards the LGTBI population to verify whether the usual accusations of homophobia and transphobia against the Partido Popular are true.
From ambivalence towards the Franco dictatorship to alliances with ultra-Catholic groups, from blocking anti-discrimination laws to whitewashing by LGTBI personalities, Por rojos y maricones reviews the political history of LGTBphobia in Spain from left to right, exposing the record of each party, without forgetting the threat of the far right. A work to understand the past and present and identify those who have hindered the progress of LGTBI rights in the Spanish State.
