The town is located 40 km from León—the nearest major city—which has a population of 122,000.
In terms of sports, León is home to the team Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa; the club competed in the second division this season but was relegated to the third division after finishing in 21st place (out of 22 teams).

And the oldest living LGBTQ+ person, does anyone have this information?

They're almost certainly closeted and thus it would be a huge and unacceptable violation of privacy to find out. LGBTQ+ people are, what, several percent of the total population? So out of the top fifty oldest validated people, one or a couple of them should be secretly LGBTQ+.

Unfortunately, back then it was more difficult, nowadays people are coming out more, so we will have a greater number of SCs when these people reach the age.

Yep!

BTW, I wonder when we'll have the first validated SC who was ever in a same-sex marriage or civil union?

This 109.5+ year-old woman was the oldest openly LGBTQ+ person in the world

Very interesting indeed, she lived a long time, I hope we have a 110+ also LGBTQ+.

And as a bonus, the elder sister was likely LGBTQ+

This is very interesting, thanks for remembering this
I think I had already seen something about this, yes
It opens up room for another discussion that someone here can help with, including you @futurist
Who are the oldest LGBTQIA+ people who have lived, or who are still alive?
I know it is very difficult to know this, because they lived in a very difficult time for the community, with a lot of persecution, but is there anyone like this among the older people?
I regret that persecution is returning here in Brazil, the municipal elections put many homophobic leaders in power and with expressive votes, I hope this passes soon, because this prejudice is not healthy, just as no prejudice is healthy.
