The State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals, Bisexuals, Intersexuals and more (Felgtbi+) announced this Monday the winners of its ‘Plumas’ and ‘Whips’ awards, recognitions that distinguish people and organizations for their contributions or attacks on the lgtbi+ community. This year the journalist Paloma del Río and the Ministries of Equality and Justice take some of the feathers; while the presidents of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and of Vox, Santiago Abascal, will be lashed with whips.
