On December 6, 1978, the Spanish people ratified the Spanish Constitution in a referendum and marked the beginning of a new stage in our history in which public authorities must promote the conditions for freedom and individual equality to be real and effective, facilitating the participation of all citizens in political, economic, cultural and social life, without any discrimination based on birth, race, sex, religion, opinion or any other condition or personal or social circumstance prevailing.

20 days later, on December 26, 1978, the crime of homosexuality included in Law 16/1970, of August 4, on Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation, which recognized as "[...] cases of dangerous state [...] was eliminated. habitual lazy, ruffians and pimps [...] and those who carry out acts of homosexuality "(article 2.3) and that established penalties ranging from fines to five years' imprisonment in prisons or psychiatric centers for their" rehabilitation ".

With its publication in the BOE of January 11, 1979, 40 years ago, the illegality of homosexuality in Spain ceased.

A month later, in February 1979, people imprisoned because of their sexual and gender status left the prisons and ended decades of contempt, humiliation, imprisonment and criminalization.

Despite this, LGTBIQ people continued to be persecuted with the figure of the Public Scandal Law, modified in 1983 and repealed in 1989.

With this memory, the FEMP adheres, one more year, to the commemoration of the International LGTBIQ Pride Day by renewing the commitment of local administrations with equal treatment and opportunities, recognizing the decisive contribution that the Spanish Constitution has made to the coexistence, social cohesion and the advancement of our society and highlighting the progress that has been made over the last 40 years in favor of the social normalization of those who have a sexual orientation different from the majority and / or identify themselves and they express with another gender different from the one socially assigned to them.

Thus, over the last 40 years, Spanish municipalities have made equality and non-discrimination one of their priority areas of action by making efforts to develop measures that meet the real needs of all people, promoting respect actions , recognizing fundamental rights as such and promoting full protection against discrimination.

It is, at the municipal level, where local governments give their hands to citizens and facilitate awareness and education tools in order to eradicate from our society any type of demonstration against LGTBIQ people both in the family, as in the school , labor, social, cultural, economic and political.
