Not a single effective sanction for carrying out conversion therapies in Spain

Seven regional laws and one state law prohibit conversion therapies in Spain, but there has not yet been a single sanction

Madrid It was the first autonomous community to prohibit and sanction bad calls «conversion therapies through regional LGTBI law. It was in 2016 and, little by little, other regions followed in their footsteps: Andalusia, Aragon, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Comunitat Valenciana and La Rioja. Furthermore, in 2023 the state trans and LGTBI law, which prohibits and sanctions them throughout Spanish territory. Despite the multiple regulations, in all these years there has been no effective sanction.

Seven regional laws and one state law that prohibit and they sanction the «conversion therapies, that is to say, "all those practices aimed at modifying or canceling a person's sexual orientation, identity or gender expression". The ONU He described them as “humiliating, degrading and discriminatory practices".

state law

In its article 17, the trans law and LGTBI state, approved in February 2023, establishes the following: “The practice of aversion, conversion or counterconditioning methods, programs and therapies, in any form, aimed at modifying the sexual orientation or identity or gender expression of people is prohibited, even if they have the consent of the interested person or of your legal representative".

It describes it as a very serious infraction, so the sanction included in that same rule stipulates a fine from 10.001 to 150.000 euros and accessory measures such as the cessation of economic or professional activity or the prohibition of accessing any type of public aid for a maximum of three years.

Lawyer saul castro remember to Newtal that "'Conversion therapies', beyond regional legislation, are prohibited in Spain through this state law”. However, he points out that the regional governments usually contemplate “more behaviors", that is, they expand what is established in the state-level standard.

Criminalize conversion therapies

Conversion therapies
Conversion therapies

One of the objectives of the association It's not therapy consists of bringing "conversion therapies" to the Criminal Code. That is, criminalize them. According to Castro, “sanctions are neither effective nor dissuasive”. "A prison sentence changes things. Even if you do not go to prison, you already have a criminal record, and, in addition, it provides greater protection to the victims, since through criminal proceedings they can be privately accused and testify in a protected manner against their perpetrators.”, points out this lawyer.

The criminal lawyer speaks along the same lines Ana Cal, who points to Newtral.es that "There is great difficulty in prosecuting conversion therapies, partly because they are practiced clandestinely and the majority of victims are afraid to report them.”. But "It is also because it is not classified as a crime".

A sanction canceled

So far, only one person has been sanctioned in Spain for carrying out "conversion therapies", but finally the financial fine imposed was annulled. The coach in question, Elena Lorenzo, was denounced shortly after Madrid the LGTBI law was approved in 2016. The Community went so far as to sanction the accused with a fine of $20.001 for carrying out "conversion therapies", but appealed to the Superior Court of Justice (TSJ) of Madrid. This body decided to annul the sanction not because it did not consider that the facts for which it had been sanctioned did not constitute an infraction, but because it considered that the administration had committed fraud by having delayed the process, as stated in the ruling.

An outraged Jorge Javier Vázquez claims LGTBI rights

Jorge Javier Vázquez: "A queer has to assert his rights"

Jorge Javier Vazquez has charged hard against Tamara Falco and all the people whitewashing hate speech. The criticism dates back to the controversial speech that the Marchioness of Griñon offered in the XIV World Congress of Families, a great event of ultra-Catholic and extreme right-wing lobbies held in Mexico. The HazteOír platform also attended the event as a Spanish representation.

Tamara openly criticized sexual diversity with these words: “We are now experiencing a very complicated moment for humanity, there are so many different types of sexualities, there are so many different places where you can do evil. I think that in other generations it was not so evident".

The host of "Save me” described the daughter of Isabel preysler"What you have done in Mexico has been to propagate and sow hatred". "What you cannot do is have a life with the collective Make yourself heard, with the extreme right-wing Catholic and with the ultra-conservative and with a party animal (...) The life of Tamara Falco is an absolute lie, and is being allowed to whitewash very dangerous elements in this society because it is Tamara Falco, but you listen to her and it's to put your hands in your head", He said Jorge Javier.

"I have suffered for being gay for people like you"

"What Tamara Falcó has done is a clear hate speech. Those are not love speeches, they are hate speeches and they must be denounced and rejected outright, because first they are the speeches and then the hosts come in the street”, assured the presenter of Save me.

Before the end of the program, he continued with his reprimand: “The world is becoming a worse place because of people just like you, who think like you and who demonize a sexuality that is not the one you have, which is heterosexual. Fortunately, people generally live their sexuality freely. I am 52 years old, I have suffered a lot for being gay and I have lived my first sexual experiences in the dark because there were people like you who did not accept this type of sexuality. Now we have to fight for people to be free, so that they can express themselves however they want and have fun in the places they want, but as long as there are people like you, who demonize freedom and the freedom to choose what they likes and dislikes, indeed, the world is going to be a worse place".

sow the hate

Far from staying here Jorge Javier He continued with his speech. “What I ask of you Tamara, is that you reconsider and stop doing the damage as you are doing. Because with your words you attack a lot of people, you attack the dignity of a lot of people and we cannot allow speeches like yours to have a place on television”, he added next. “Enough of accepting these types of words as normal, because they fall within the total abnormality. You are an absolute fraud. Reconsider, because in addition to being a lie, you are a very harmful and very harmful element for this society”, he commented afterwards.

At that moment, Jorge Javier He pretended to leave his answer there, but he took it up again to send a last message to the Marchioness of Griñón"At 52 years old, I am not going to allow people like you and organizations like Make yourself heard and all those with whom you are by their side to come here and send us back to darkness, sadness and depression. We will not allow it, Tamara. We will be against people like you and against the people around you".

Take sides

This Wednesday, Jorge Javier has gone a step further and has asked the friends of Falco let them take sides “I'm going to ask the queers of this country, lesbians, transsexuals and gender fluid people to wake up now. We are anesthetized and we have to take our conscience for a walk”, declared the presenter before citing two men who are very close to the Marchioness of Griñón. "I hope friends of Tamara as Boris Izaguirre and Juan Avellaneda mean and don't be silent”, he continued.

"Since this program has fried calls to Boris Izaguirre and Juan Avellaneda to give their opinion on this topic, and they don't have an opinion. No sir! You have to comment on this topic! Of course you have to comment!”, he said visibly indignant.

"A queer is not only chosen to accompany Tamara to choose fabrics for your restaurant, John Avellaneda”, added the presenter, in a clear allusion to the function that the stylist developed in the documentary series of Netflix who stars Tamara Falco. "A fagot has to assert his rights”, he finished.

All this happens the same week Vox will celebrate in Madrid Viva22, a recreational-political event with which the formation aims to celebrate the Hispanic heritage with activities for the little ones. In that event the rapper will perform SantaFlow, author of a song titled Madness is in me whose letter says the following: “I want to hit Jorge Javier's fagot". Joan Baldoví, spokesperson for Compromís in the Congress, has denounced it this Wednesday in the Parliament qualifying the act of akelarre. Today the presenter has taken legal action against the organizers of the event.

ILGA 2019 report: State of homophobia in the world

Eleven countries still punish homosexual relationships with death

GAYLES.TV.- «As of March 2019, 70 states continue to criminalize consensual same-sex activities. In 44 of these states the law applies to people regardless of gender«Says Lucas Ramón Mendos, author of the 13th edition of «201 State Homophobia Report9 ″ published by the ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association).

«In the last two years there have been important advances: India, Trinidad and Tobago and Angola They were the last to repeal those laws. We hope that this will contribute to greater change in your regions. However, this global advance is also accompanied by setbacks: in 2017, Chad criminalized consensual sexual acts between people of the same sex, a worrying example of legal backsliding." Explain Mendos.

Currently there are 6 UN Member States that impose the death penalty to consensual sexual acts between persons of the same sex, and other 5 States in which such punishment is technically possible. In other 26 countries the maximum penalty may vary between 10 years and life imprisonment.

At least 32 Member States of the UN have established provisions that limit the freedom of expression of people, including propaganda laws that prohibit the "promotion" of homosexuality or "non-traditional" sexual relationships; 41 States put barriers to NGOs working on sexual orientation issues from being registered or operating regularly, putting human rights defenders at greater risk.

On the other hand, legislation that protects lesbian, gay and bisexual people from discrimination and violence has expanded in recent years, albeit at a slower pace than we expected.

The number of Member States of the United Nations that prohibit nucleosides de «conversion" there are still three, but there is also progress at the subnational level, where local legislatures have prohibited such practices. The legal provisions that protect against discrimination in employment they are now a reality in the 38% of the States.

When it comes to protecting and recognizing our relationships and families, the marriage equality 4 has more states in recent years, while others 27 guarantee recognition of de facto partners.

«These are not just numbers, but laws that really impact the daily lives of people of diverse sexual orientations around the world », they commented Ruth Baldacchino and Helen Kennedy, General Co-Secretaries of ILGA. "Positive laws make a difference: they can help change public attitudes and, specifically, tell people that they are equally worthy of rights."

Key figures to understand the state of homophobia in the world:

  • In 123 Member States of the UN, consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex are legal.
  • 70 Member States of the UN continue penalizing consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex (68 through explicit provisions of the law, 2 de facto).
  • La death penalty for consensual sexual acts between persons of the same sex is imposed in 6 UN member states. In 4 of them (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan) it is applied throughout the State; in 2 (Somalia, Nigeria) it applies only to specific provinces. There are five other States (Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Mauritania) where such a penalty is still possible.
  • 32 States have laws that restrict freedom of expression on issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.
  • 41 States pose barriers to the formation, establishment or registration of NGO related to sexual orientation
  • 73 States have laws that protect against discrimination in the workplace for reasons of sexual orientation
  • 9 States contain constitutional provisions that specify sexual orientation in their protections against discrimination.
  • 39 States have laws that punish the acts of incitement to hatred, discrimination or violence based on sexual orientation; 42 States impose more severe penalties for crimes motivated by hatred towards the sexual orientation of the victim
  • 26 States recognize the wedding  between people of the same sex; 27 States anticipate some kind of recognition of the couple
  • 28 States have joint adoption laws, while 30 States allow the adoption of a second father of the same sex.
