IDAHO report 2011 - Spain
|
|
|
Numerous events marked the Day around the country through the end of May: marches for diversity; vigils and church services against hate and violence; sports tournaments; kiss-ins; stunts and flashmob events; storytelling on diversity for children; film festivals; and countless interventions in schools, universities, police stations, hospitals to sensitize against persistent forms of homophobia and transphobia in spite of the progressive Spanish legal environment and social climate. (A survey released on the Day reveals that more than 80% of Spanish young people approve of same-sex marriage). In some conservative areas, the Day was marked with manifestations against threats from the right wing party to back track on legal advances such as same-sex marriage.
May 17 was also marked by the launch of a campaign entitled “Homophobia Kills.” The campaign paralleled the 21 years that have passed since the WHO decision that the Day commemorates, with the remembrance of 21 notorious murders of LGBT people around the world.
