Libérate is a tribute to the artists, films, songs and venues that brought color back to Spain. A tribute to the LGTBQ culture that, even in the grayest Spain, managed to make its way overcoming adversities and censorship. Valeria Vegas compiles a multitude of essential references to understand the role that gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans women and men, drags, transformers and allies of the group have played in Spanish culture.
This historical journey begins in the early sixties, with the premiere of the film Diferente or the irruption of Coccinelle in the middle of Madrid's Gran Vía, passes through the convulsive years of the Transition and reaches the beginning of the 21st century. In the words of its author, «perhaps this book will serve to do justice to all those careers carved out on stage. Because the history of our LGTBQ culture is still being written, and we must begin by ordering what has already happened, accurately and reliably, giving all the references the place they deserve. Having knowledge of our past will allow us to lay the foundations of our future.
