"No Secrets Anymore: Identities, Strategies and the Making of the
Gay Rights Movement in the Basque Country" provides a reflexive
sociology study of the establishment and development of EHGAM and
GEHITU, two of the gay rights organizations in the Basque Country.
This book offers in-depth interviews and participant observations
of members of these two organizations and their social and cultural
capitals in the field of regional gay rights movement, from their
private "coming out" experiences to public debates on their sexual
and political identities. This book focuses on strategies and
functions of EHGAM and GEHITU and biographical discourses of gay
rights movement activists to explore what capitals they can
mobilize. One of the highlights is the story of Iigo Lamarca, the
founder of GEHITU, and how his life experience and charisma
influenced the founding and growth of the organization. The
successes of EHGAM and GEHITU prove that an effective political
strategy of gay rights movement should focus on human dignity and
social equality in the lives of lesbians, gay men and other sexual
diversity.
