List of LGBT politicians in Spain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of lesbian, gay, and bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Spaniards who have served in the Spanish Cortes Generales, the Spanish government or the regional parliaments.

As of June 2024, 37 members of the LGBT community are known to have held office in the Spanish Cortes Generales. In the Congress, 28 LGBT people held office; in the Senate, 15 held office. Five people, Jerónimo Saavedra, Miriam Blasco, Antonio Hurtado, María Freixanet, Javier Maroto, and Raúl Díaz have served in both Chambers. The earliest known LGBT congressperson was Jerónimo Saavedra, who is also the earliest known openly LGBT senator, although he was not out during his tenure as deputy. The earliest openly LGBT deputy is therefore Ernesto Gasco. Following the 2023 elections, Carla Antonelli became the first trans person to serve in either chamber of the Spanish legislature. There are currently 6 openly LGBT members of the 15th Congress: 5 of them belong to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party or the Socialists' Party of Catalonia and one belongs to the People's Party; and four openly LGBT senators, two from the People's Party, one from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and one from the regionalist Más Madrid.

All senators listed served as open members of the LGBT community unless otherwise specified:
