Judge Grande Marlaska was speaking to the European conference of gay and lesbian police being held in Barcelona, while in Madrid gay representatives meet with José Bono in Congress.

Speaking at the opening of the European Conference of Gay and Lesbian Police being held in Barcelona, National Court Instruction Judge, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, himself a homosexual, has said that if the gay marriage law is declared unconstitutional by the Constructional Court in the appeal presented to it by the Partido Popular, it would be a step backwards for gay social recognition as people who are against gay marriage would say ‘You see how they are not equal’.

The judge said it was important for gays and lesbians to come out in the security services as elsewhere.

Meanwhile the President of the Congress of Deputies, José Bono, met today with gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual representatives who are organising a citizen’s pride movement.

This week sees a week of celebrations for gays and lesbians ending with the pride parade in Madrid on Saturday. This year the festival is concentrating on lesbian visibility.
