Lorca, a 'queer' icon and a censored archive
New readings attempt to patch up a tradition of studies that have focused on hiding or underestimating homosexuality as a key to reading the Andalusian poet.
A mother took her son to a Pride manifestation in Madrid in 2006. The boy was used to being called "mariquita" at school. A drag queen approached him and said she was his maths teacher, surprising him as she looked different from her usual style. The mother was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a writer and the slogan "ME VUELVES LORCA". Several books about Lorca are listed, including "Lorca después de Lorca" and "Lorca en Vermont".
