📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The 1977 Barcelona gay pride demonstration took place on 26 June of that year and was Spain's first great act of LGBT visibility. The gathering, organized by the newly minted Front d'Alliberament Gai de Catalunya brought together almost five thousand people who, headed by a group of transvestites, peacefully paraded along La Rambla in Barcelona. The demonstration was harshly repressed by the police, who mounted several charges and shot at demonstrators with rubber bullets. At least three demonstrators were seriously wounded, and a fourth, Doctor Oriol Martí, was beaten, arrested and jailed for 56 days at La Model prison for allegedly attacking and insulting agents of authority.
