Felipe González: 1989 and 1993: AIDS / HIV and STIs, Orgullo
Background: Still rewriting this section which is currently 57 pages long. Yikes. I thought Franco was bad at 30, and the transition at 36.

For the first time in Spanish history, lesbians in the country could claim their own cultural, social, political and historical identity independent of men, government erasure and the Church and state being the sole arbitrators of female sexuality.

Despite this, women were often…
