"Lesbians are ever with us, but always somewhere else: in imagination, in the shadows, in the margins, hidden history, out of sight, out of imagination, always represented as a tragic error" in 1999 the murder of the young Rocío Wanninkhof shocked the Spanish society. The prejudice against lesbians and their social invisibility Dolores Vázquez sentenced for a crime he did not commit. His story illustrates how the atavistic hatred, fear and misunderstanding toward lesbians can convert seemingly neutral media tools to build a stereotype: the perverse lesbian, easy for the public lynching white. From an exhaustive and fascinating analysis of related Wanninkhof published in El País, ABC and El Mundo between 1999 and 2006 event news, Beatriz Gimeno illustrates how lesbophobia and speeches that states inter alia sexism articulates well as problems with the media, all to convey to society the "standard" of a real lesbian, a hardly reducible lesbian erotic object and, moreover, does not live in isolation or the edge existence, but in a family environment which often includes children.
