Spanish Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual Federation
The Spanish LGBT Federation (FELGTB) was created in 1992 to coordinate the Spanish associative movement of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. More than 60 LGBT organizations share resources, activities and policy strategies. The FELGTB fights for the sexual minorities’ rights, their legal recognition (same-sex marriage, gender identity law) and their identities (LGBT pride, LGBT culture) through campaigns, media presence, advocacy, conferences, demonstrations and services for the community trough its member associations. One of the objectives of the FELGTB is supporting education and research on sexual diversity, and that is the reason why the FELGTB actively supports and participates in the organization of the VIII IASSCS Biannual 2011 Conference in Madrid.
