The 1970 Law on Social Danger and Rehabilitation (la ley de peligrosidad y rehabilitación social) was a Spanish penal code law approved by dictator Francisco Franco's regime on August 5, 1970.[1] The Law of Danger and Social Rehabilitation specifically criminalized homosexuality and established a spectrum of punishments for citizens caught engaging in homosexual acts, including time in concentration camps or prison. The anti-homosexuality clause of the law was repealed following the end of Francisco Franco's regime, but homophobia continued long past the political transition.[2]
