They knew it since the moment they met. It was in Barcelona. Ramon had moved there after finishing the mandatory military service and he saw Jordi for the first time in a restaurant, having dinner. “I took him home on the first date because I saw he would be a good person”, explains Jordi.
They fell in love during Franco’s dictatorship, when being homosexual was persecuted. They always had to take care with what they did and didn’t do in order to avoid being pointed at. Now, 56 years later, Jordi and Ramon think of a whole life together.
They went often to Horta de Sant Joan, Ramon’s town. There, they slept together in a double bed at his parents’ house. The family always respected their decisions, though they never openly talked about their relation with them.
