List of LGBT politicians in Spain

Last updated

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of lesbian, gay, and bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Spaniards who have served in the Spanish Cortes Generales, the Spanish government or the regional parliaments.

Contents

As of February 2022, 34 members of the LGBT community are known to have held office in the Spanish Cortes Generales. In the Congress, 26 LGBT people held office; in the Senate, 14 held office. Five people, Jerónimo Saavedra, Miriam Blasco, Antonio Hurtado, María Freixanet, Javier Maroto, and Raúl Díaz have served in both Chambers. The earliest known LGBT congressperson was Jerónimo Saavedra, who is also the earliest known openly LGBT senator, although he was not out during his tenure as deputy. The earliest openly LGBT deputy is therefore Ernesto Gasco. Following the 2023 elections, Carla Antonelli became the first trans person to serve in either chamber of the Spanish legislature. There are currently 10 openly LGBT members of the 14th Congress: 5 of them belong to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party or the Socialists' Party of Catalonia, two of them belong to the Unidas Podemos coalition, one belongs to the People's Party, one belongs to Navarra Suma and one belongs to the Catalan European Democratic Party; and four openly LGBT senators, three from the People's Party and one from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Spain rank among the highest in the world; having undergone significant advancements within recent decades. Among ancient Romans in Spain, sexual interaction between men was viewed as commonplace, but a law against homosexuality was promulgated by Christian emperors Constantius II and Constans, and Roman moral norms underwent significant changes leading up to the 4th century. Laws against sodomy were later established during the legislative period. They were first repealed from the Spanish Code in 1822, but changed again along with societal attitudes towards homosexuality during the Spanish Civil War and Francisco Franco's regime.
