The marches take place amid the demand for a LGTBI State Law to “guarantee the rights of the collective throughout the territory”, after Spain has ceased to be among the ten countries in Europe most respectful of these people, according to the report ILGA Europe (International Association of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals).
In this way, Spanish society is ranked eleventh and has fallen nine places since 2011, when Spain managed to position itself as the second most respectful European nation with this group.
In this sense, the State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Trans and Bisexuals (Felgtb) has denounced that Cantabria, the Principality of Asturias, Castilla y León, Castilla La-Mancha and La Rioja are the regions where these people are most unprotected since “They do not have autonomous legislation that guarantees their rights.”
Before the elections, these autonomies were processing this type of regulations, which according to the Federation, have been “unjustifiably prolonged” by the parties that want to stop the advance of human rights.
