Here is a summary of recent news related to the LGTBI community in Spain, with references to international press sources:
Politics and Human Rights
Transgender Rights Legislation: In February 2023, Spain's parliament passed a comprehensive law expanding protections for LGTBI individuals. This legislation allows transgender people aged 16 and over to change their legal gender without medical supervision, positioning Spain among the few countries permitting gender self-identification through a simple administrative process.
HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH
Madrid's Rollback of LGTBI Protections: In December 2023, the Community of Madrid, led by the Partido Popular, repealed several protections for LGTBI individuals. This included removing requirements for public media to promote sexual diversity and eliminating support for municipal programs aimed at trans and gay groups. Critics argue that these changes represent a significant setback in the recognition and protection of LGTBI rights in the region.

The club’s owners went on to open The Backlot, an adjacent live music and performance venue that attracted Hollywood A-listers. But the happy ending of gay men finding acceptance on the dancefloor was ripped away in the early 80s. Like any documentary about gay culture of that era, you are girding yourself for the arrival of Aids. The club’s longterm barman Michael Koth shares a staff Christmas photo from 1980, or maybe 1981. “There are 105 people in that picture, and only two of us are left alive.”
At the beginning of the film you might be a bit cynical about the mission to save the place. It’s not as if it’s possible to re-bottle the magic of a club in its heyday, so why bother? But listening to the survivors will completely change your mind about preserving its status as a cultural landmark, perhaps even a memorial to those who were lost so young. “This was the place where they were happiest.”
Studio One Forever is in UK cinemas from 18 October.
