What recent changes have occurred in the situation of LGBTQI+ people in Spain?
Following the approval this March of the Trans Law, the situation in Spain is, at least on paper, one of the optimal in the world. The Transitioned Law allows free choice of registered sex based solely on each person’s will, prohibits conversion therapies and imposes measures for diversity in education and employment.
We have a problem, however, namely the rise of hate speech propagated by the far right, represented by Vox, and even by the more traditional conservative party, the

Interesting Cities to Visit in Spain
MADRID
The Spanish capital is both the geographic and economic center of the country. Although its the largest city in Spain, it boasts a local vibe that can be attributed to well-defined neighborhoods. Just north of the city center is the predominantly LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Chueca where many of the gay bars and nightlife can be set up. La Latina to the south boasts famous tapas bars and patios, while Barrio de Las Letras is home to the museums. A few must-see sights include the Egyptian Temple of Debod, the royal palace, the Plaza Mayor, the oldest restaurant in the world (Sobrino de Botín) and the San Miguel Market.

With its port for cruise ships, close proximity to France, and cosmopolitan atmosphere, its no surprise that the Catalonia region (starring Barcelona), welcomes the most international tourists annually. As a result, Barcelona tends to feel more touristy, especially around top attractions prefer Las Ramblas, Park Guel and Sagrada Familia. Locals speak both Spanish and Catalan. Aside from the Gaudi

I was wondering, to me at least, in English, gay seems too clinical and the everyday term “gay” is used as more familiar, with the other terms deemed offensive, (the s-word, f-word, q-word etc)
I tried Google but I don’t speak Spanish, so I was thinking, homosexual might come out as “happy” on a translator?
So how would you utter the equivalent in Spanish. Also do other languages have similar “non-offensive” and “non-clinical” terms for gays?

In my experience, there is no word in Spanish which is both blameless and distinctly un-clinical-sounding. “Homosexual” is the word for both “homosexual” and “gay.”
The English word “gay” is becoming more popular among Spanish speakers to articulate the latter connotation.
