Espacio Seguro LGTBIQA+ Burgos is a volunteer-run LGBTQIA+ association. It says it wants to bring together everyone in the collective in Burgos, and describes its purpose as a space for advocacy, for the fight for rights, for visibility and for the celebration of LGBTQIA+ realities.
Its assemblies are open to anyone and are held in the library of Espacio Tangente, an independent arts centre on Calle Valentín Jalón in the Vadillos district, a few streets north of the Arlanzón. The same building carries most of the rest of the programme: exhibitions, performances, talks and a reading group. The association also sets up information tables out in the neighbourhoods, Gamonal among them.
It organises the Pride march in Burgos, which sets off from the Teatro Principal, crosses the old town by way of the Plaza del Rey San Fernando and the Paseo del Espolón, and ends on the Plaza Mayor with live music, a drag show and information stands. Its manifestos tie LGBTQIA+ demands to anti-racist and feminist ones.
There is a support and accompaniment group for anyone facing violence, discrimination or an assault, with a phone number and an email address of its own. Everyone involved works unpaid.
