Sitges in April – Step Back in Time!

Sitges Timeline

As you can probably tell, we’ve upgraded the blog software and made it easier to search and find information contained in over 2 years worth of postings. We’ve also given you one click access to every month of the year, so the next time you want to find out what a particular month is like, just take click on the archives link and you can take a trip-back-in-time.

Just be warned. The calendar of events does change depending on when Easter falls. Check Gay Sitges Guide’s Events Section for the exact dates of your favourite events.

Upgrade

We are in the process of moving servers. We had to upgrade the server due to the 2000 plus visitors per day to the site. Please bear with us as we transfer 2 years of blog posts and an entire site. We will be upgrading the design over the next few days also.

Remember on Saturday Night to put your clocks forward. Its going to make it an even later night out for us in Sitges then! Ok, so we loose an hour, but it is well worth it when you see the fact that it is bright at 8pm in the evening. Enjoy.

Improved Photo Galleries

New Photo Gallery

We started the photo gallery over 2 years ago. It was getting a bit difficult to navigate now that we have reached our 20,000th photo. So we did some housekeeping. We’ve upgraded the flash player so it works much more fluidly.

Also, each category now has its own unique gallery. So do all the major bars and clubs (don’t worry, we will be adding more of you over the next few days). And we will be highlighting different galleries each week so you can keep abrest of the best places to shop, eat, drink and have fun in! Individual listing galleries will be upgraded this week. If we’ve missed anything, just let us know.

You can view Gay Sitges Guide’s redeigned galleries here. Remember to keep an eye out for our posters in bars and clubs. These businesses support this guide and we in-turn encourage you to support them when you are here for your holidays.

Spanish PM Appers on Cover of Spain’s Top Gay Magazine.

Gay Spain Election

We normally don’t discuss Politics or Religion on this blog, however its very much the topic of discussion in Spain at the moment and this definitely deserves special mention. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero made his third appearance on the cover of the Spanish gay magazine Zero this month in advance of national elections on March 9, using the occasion to warn the conservative Partido Popular against rolling back LGBT rights:

“‘We will continue to make reforms to improve the conditions of all,” he said in an interview with the monthly gay magazine Zero, where he appeared on the cover for the third time since 2002. ‘We must facilitate the implementation of the rights that we have already approved: the right to adoption (for same-sex couples), of course, and the right to legally change sex,’ he said.

If the conservative opposition Popular Party of Mariano Rajoy wins the election, Zapetero vowed to prevent ‘a single step backwards’ in the policies of his government. ‘I will do whatever possible so that Mr. Rajoy does not withdraw the rights of any family,’ he said. Spain became only the third member of the European Union, after the Netherlands and Belgium, to allow same-sex marriages in July 2005 with a law that also legalised adoptions by gays and lesbians. The measure was heavily criticised by the Roman Catholic Church in Spain and a section of the Popular Party.

The PP has gone to the constitutional court to challenge the use of the word ‘marriage’ in the law, and has vowed if elected to withdraw the right of gays and lesbians to adopt. Homosexuality was legalised in Spain in 1979, four years after the death of dictator Francisco Franco whose regime shipped gays to institutions that some activists have likened to concentration camps. ‘We are the envy of other countries for what we have achieved (on gay rights), and we have the support of a lot of countries,’ said Zapatero.”

We wholeheartedly endorse his position and hope that Spain retains its liberal approach towards gay rights and equality.
