• Announcement. Pablo Alborán: "I am homosexual"

"He was a wonderful man, very sensitive. A very controversial man, which at this time is not convenient to clarify. But it was an impossible love. That union was impossible. And I do not say more, by God." Those were the elusive words of Carmen Sevilla when she went to the José María Íñigo program in 1983 and had to answer about the marriage request that tenor Luis Mariano had once proposed to her .

The so-called king of the operetta, born in Irún and mythologized in France, shot together with Carmen Sevilla four films in which he was a gallant. In front of the camera he fulfilled his mission, but outside of filming he did not hide his sharp laugh or his mannerism, unleashing the producer's anger. His homosexuality, despite being 'vox populi' within the profession, was unspeakable in the 1950s , and Carmen Sevilla herself could not find the words to explain it 30 years later.

Vicente Parra also had to adjust to the times in which he lived. After captivating the whole of Spain with his performance in 'Where are you going, Alfonso XII?', He began to take on the role of handsome seducer. It was incompatible to live openly his sexual condition and to continue starring in films in which he would reply to national glories such as Concha Velasco, Paquita Rico or Sara Montiel . In the interviews he claimed to have been in love with Natalia Figueroa and Analía Gadé , trying to hide a secret that was beginning to crumble. With the arrival of the Transition and almost by way of rebellion, in 1976 he decided to pose nude for the extinct magazine 'Papillón', thus being a pioneer in the male uncovering and causing the Ministry of Information and Tourism to order the publication's closure. Of course, with all the sarcasm and bad slobber, that report was titled: 'The rest of the warrior'.

Sometimes it was not necessary to be the protagonist who fell in love with women so that a slab fell on the actor that conditioned him to false appearances. This is what happened to Antonio Ferrandis , always perfect in the roles of honest man or father of a family. The interpreter of the Oscar-winning 'Start Over' did not hide his sexuality in front of fellow professionals, all aware that he had a romantic relationship with José Luis Dibildos' production assistant , even though they both lived in separate apartments. The fact of embodying the endearing Chanquete de 'Verano Azul' further distanced him from any confession that could be cause for scandal. When Pilar Eyre interviewed him for 'Interviú' in 1982, he assured that he did not need women at any level, he confessed to being a sexually cold man and when asked what he thought about homosexuality, he said: "It is another form of sexuality. It's funny that people say it's an aberration. There are much more aberrant cases between men and women than homosexuality. "

The theatrical environment, being perhaps less commercial and more permissive, allowed Paco Morán to declare his relations with other men on some occasion and to reveal the romance between Enric Majó and the writer Terenci Moix.

The music industry has also contributed to concealing the sexual condition of its most commercial signings, from the time of the singer Pedrito Rico to the most recent Pablo Alborán. At the beginning of the 80s, the fifteen-year-olds were screaming and complimenting Pedro Marín , who was sweeping hits such as 'Aire' or 'Que no'. In the interviews he claimed to have been in love with all his friends, and even that he liked all his fans. Years after his debut, he declared himself bisexual, and a short time later he would abandon his music career, going so far as to argue that the record company was exercising too strong control. It was the time when Los Pecos and Iván also triumphed , although it was Miguel Bosé who stood as number one. Backed by a wave of mad admirers who dreamed that he would be their bandit lover, Bosé avoided any loving question with ambiguity and even predicted at the time that he would never marry. He became adept at playing equivocation and it was not until a few years ago that Nacho Palau , his partner for more than two decades, became known.

"A scant two millimeters from your mouth" was the chorus that the presenter Jesús Vázquez sang , when in the early 90's he became the new idol destined to line the folders of teenage girls. He claimed to have no time for love, although he agreed to make a report in which the French Marlene Mourreau was an occasional lover. The unfair and prejudiced Case of Arny uncovered the presenter's homosexuality, as well as that of the humorist Jorge Cadaval , who had also posed at some point with an alleged girlfriend. What was an intolerable witch hunt in turn helped them gather strength and live their sexual condition in full freedom.
