Héctor Anabitarte is a journalist, writer and human rights activist. A pioneer of the LGBTQI movement in Argentina, he was a founding member of the Frente de Liberación Homosexual. Fleeing the military dictatorship that was persecuting him, he arrived in Spain in 1977, worked with Amnesty International and threw himself into the fight against AIDS. In 1990 he was one of the driving forces behind the IV International Conference for People with AIDS and served as secretary general of the Fundación Anti-Sida. In Aranjuez he founded the immigrant support association 'Hombro con hombro' and volunteers with the Red Cross Food Bank.
As a journalist he has contributed to the Diario de Barcelona, La Voz de Euskadi, Tiempo de Historia, Ozono, Liberación, Información Al Día and the weekly Más, during his years in Aranjuez (Madrid). His books include 'Estrechamente vigilados por la locura', 'Nadie olvida nada' and 'Sida: la cosa está que arde', co-written with Ricardo Lorenzo.
A committed member of the PSOE, Anabitarte continues to write and to pay close attention to the world around him. This collection gathers a selection of his articles, all published in the print and digital editions of the weekly Más.
