El camino hacia el reconocimiento de la diversidad sexogenérica en Málaga:: memoria democrática, cambios sociales, visibilidades y exclusiones

Abstract

In this article some socio-cultural, historical, geographical, economic and socio-spatial keys are presented to understand the place that Malaga occupies today in relation to sexual and gender diversity. The results presented here come from applied anthropological research. The path traveled by the city of Malaga and its neighbor Torremolinos from the late Franco years - in which they became a decisive nucleus of sociosexual innovations - to the present is traced. In this time frame, the visibility and public presence of people today called LGBT+ have only grown. However, they have been weighed down by gender asymmetries and characterized by a strong male role that, little by little, has given way in recent years to the conquest of public visibility by lesbian and bisexual women and people who do not fit in the normative standards of masculinity and femininity. These advances have run parallel to intersectional exclusions, violence and social vulnerabilities that continue to affect certain sectors of the population and that mark the future challenges to be achieved.
