EHGAM is the Basque movement for sexual liberation, and this is its Gipuzkoa branch. It is based at the CRAJ youth centre on Paseo de Anoeta, in Amara Berri, out beyond the stadium and away from the tourist half of the city.
It calls itself pluralist, autonomous and revolutionary: open to anyone who accepts its aims whatever else they think, tied to no party or institution, and working to take apart the patriarchal and sexist structures it holds responsible for the way sexuality is policed. The branch adds transfeminism to that in its own first line.
Beheatokia is the piece most useful to a visitor. It is the movement's reporting service for homophobic and transphobic incidents, taken through a form on their site, and it exists because a lot of what happens never reaches the police.
The branch runs workshops, talks and film screenings, joins the province's Pride marches and puts together its own programme around the June dates. The working language is Basque, with Spanish alongside.
