List of LGBT politicians in Spain
This is a list of lesbian, gay, and bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Spaniards who have served in the Spanish Cortes Generales, the Spanish government or the regional parliaments.
As of February 2022, 29 members of the LGBT community are known to have held office in the Spanish Cortes Generales. In the Congress, 24 LGBT people held office; in the Senate, 11 held office. Five people, Jerónimo Saavedra, Miriam Blasco, Antonio Hurtado, María Freixanet, Javier Maroto and Jesús Vázquez have served in both Chambers. The earliest known LGBT congressperson was Jerónimo Saavedra, who is also the earliest known openly LGBT senator, although he was not out during his tenure as deputy. The earliest openly LGBT deputy is therefore Ernesto Gasco. There are currently 10 openly LGBT members of the 14th Congress: 5 of them belong to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party or the Socialists' Party of Catalonia, two of them belong to the Unidas Podemos coalition, one belongs to the People's Party, one belongs to Navarra Suma and one belongs to the Catalan European Democratic Party; and four openly LGBT senators, three from the People's Party and one from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.
