An analysis of the situation of the homosexual community during the years of Francoism, with previously unpublished archival documents.

How did gay people live during Francoism? What discourse did they have about their sexuality? Was homosexuality really condemned? The historian Geoffroy Huard attempts to answer these questions based on numerous newspapers, books, testimonies, police and medical reports, archival documents from the “Vagos y Maleantes” and “Peligrosidad y Rehabilitación Social” courts (not studied since the return of democracy to Spain). Through a meticulous, rigorous, and documented reconstruction of the gay world in our country, Huard shows us, beyond common assumptions, how class justice was exercised against homosexuals—a repression mainly limited to the working classes when their lifestyle was linked to delinquency, vagrancy, or prostitution, while homosexuals from the middle and upper classes who could justify “honest” work and income were not condemned. It is these lifestyles of the working classes and that class justice that the author restores here.
