Boti García Rodrigo

[9] In protest of the "intolerance" of the Catholic Church and the backing of the Popular Party (PP), she joined the kiss organised by the FELGTB in front of the Almudena Cathedral the same year on behalf of IU.

[4] She acknowledges that although lesbians were obliged to remain invisible during the Franco era, they were fortunate to be spared the homophobia of patriarchy and national Catholicism, whereas transgender individuals were the ones who suffered most.

[15] In December 2005, following a decade-long relationship with fellow activist Beatriz Gimeno, they married under the direction of Inés Sabanés, with Councilor Pedro Zerolo of the PSOE and Luis Asúa of the PP in attendance.

[16] 110 people attended the event, including Llamazares, the IU general coordinator, Leire Pajín, the secretary of state for international cooperation, Iñigo Lamarca, the Basque Country's ararteko, Almudena Grandes, the writer, and Luis García Montero, the poet.

[18] Boti was one of the seven recipients of the Adriano Antinoo Awards II Edition, which were given out on 7 April 2013, by the Sevillian LGBT group and the Cajasol Foundation in recognition of her fight for human freedom and equality.
