Antoni Roig Rosselló (La Marina, Ibiza, 1939) is a small man, with contained and gentle gestures, extremely kind. He is also a brave man. He is the first Spanish clergyman to come out of the closet; he did so with the publication of the novel Not all parks are a paradise, a finalist for the Planeta prize in 1976, 50 years ago now. The book was originally subtitled “Memoirs of a Priest”. It recounts the homosexual experiences of the protagonist during a long stay in London and his conflict between religious vocation and sexual orientation. It cost him suspension by the Archdiocese of Valencia and expulsion from the Carmelites. Franco had just died, but Francoism was still very much alive. Antoni Roig Rosselló was in Ibiza for the third edition of the awards organized by the association Sa Clau de s’Armari, which bear his name. It is there that we interview him. He begins to speak before being asked any questions.
