  • Pride Parades, Public Space and Sexual Dissidence
    Identities, Sexualities and Commemorations: Pride Parades, Public Space and Sexual Dissidence Identities, Sexualities and Commemorations: Pride Parades, Public Space and Sexual Dissidence Begonya Enguix Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, we will approach the mechanisms used for entitlement and the way in which public space has been reappropriated and resignified by sexual dissidents as a space for vindication, visibilization and commemoration. We will do so through the analysis of the LGTB Pride Parades in Spain – Madrid Pride in particular – and through an analysis of the relationship between territorialisation, communities (shared identities) and political activ- ism. The use of public space as a specific locus for entitlement and commemoration has only been possible in Spain since democracy was restored and, therefore, it is politically meaningful. LGTB Pride Parades marching through central streets do not only occupy, but ‘produce’ space and identities. They constitute a privileged field for the analysis of the mechanisms through which sexual diversity manifests and expresses social and subjec- tive identities which are intertwined with discourses and counter-discourses that can be traced through the participation (or absence) from the event, through the strategies of re- presentation displayed and through the narratives about this event. This work is based on systematic observation of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Madrid parades and on the observa- tion of 2007 and 2008 Barcelona parades. We have also undertaken in-depth interviews with members of the organisation of Madrid Pride and Barcelona Pride 2009. It is preceded by intensive fieldwork on the gay community carried out intermittently from 1990 to the present day.

The responsibility for its conclusions and opinions lies with the FRA Homophobia and Discrimination on Grounds of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in the EU Member States Part II - The Social Situation Foreword On December 18 2008 the UN General Assembly heard a strong declaration drafted by France and The Netherlands on behalf of the European Union and co-sponsored by sixty-six countries from all regions. It called for the global decriminalization of homosexuality and condemned human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In the European Union Article 13 of the EC Treaty prohibits any discrimination based on sexual orientation and the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights is the first international human rights charter to explicitly include the term “sexual orientation”. The legal study we published in June 2008 shows that 18 EU Member States already provide quite comprehensive protection against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. In July 2008, the European Commission proposed stronger EU wide protection against discrimination on all grounds. The social situation, however, is worrying. In recent years a series of events in EU Member States, such as the banning of Pride marches, hate speech from politicians and intolerant statements by religious leaders, have sent alarming signals and sparked a new debate about the extent of homophobia and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and transgendered persons in the European Union.

  • Protest, Market and Identity in the LGTB Pride Celebrations in Spain
    Protest, market and identity in the LGTB Pride Celebrations in Spain Begonya Enguix / [email protected] Orcid 0000-0002-5020-9019 Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain Abstract: On the first Saturday of July, Madrid hosts the State LGTB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Pride Demonstration with participants from LGTB activist groups, trade unions, political parties, NGOs and entrepreneurship. It involves around one million people and generates a profit of around 110 million euros. The participation of commercially sponsored floats along with the large influx of tourists that visit Madrid feed the discussions on the commercialization of the event and on the relationship between neoliberalism, identity and protest. These debates refer to the old tensions between critical activism and assimilationist activism. This article is based on a continued ethnographic fieldwork that combines participant observation, digital ethnography and in-depth interviews. We propose that the tensions between protest, activism, market and spectacle can be productive –as the Spanish LGTB movement has proved– and can create a new landscape of inclusive, hybrid and vindicating identity conceptions. Key words: LGTB identities, marketization, new models for protest, hybridization. Resumen: El primer sábado de julio Madrid acoge la Manifestación Estatal del Orgullo LGTB (Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales y personas Transgénero) en la que participan grupos activistas LGTB, partidos políticos y sindicatos, ONG y grupos empresariales. Asiste aproximadamente un millón de personas y genera unos beneficios que rondan los 110 millones de euros. Las carrozas esponsorizadas por empresas y la gran afluencia de turistas que recibe Madrid espolean los debates sobre la mercantilización de este evento y sobre la relación entre neoliberalismo, identidad y protesta.
