Felix Alvarez is one of the most popular and richest Lobbyist who was born on October 11, 1951 in Gibraltar, United Kingdom. Felix Alvarez OBE (11 October 1951) is a Gibraltarian human rights, democratic rights and civil rights activist., and LGBT activist.

Alvarez later earned a diploma in social and community work in Goldsmiths, University of London in 1978. Unsatisfied with the decline of fascist movements at the time in London (with the rising in the British National Front), Alvarez decided to explore the possibility of working on the Middle East, on what Alvarez believed was an adventure for six months. The journey lasted for 16 years, and during that the period Alvarez learned Arabic and traveled across the globe.

In 1997, Alvarez returned to Gibraltar. One of his first undertakings on The Rock was to produce an in-depth study and MA thesis on bilingualism in the Gibraltar educational system from nursery schools all the way through to adult vocational training. This was entitled Primary Code and Private Space: Choice in the Host Classroom. A copy was deposited with the John Mackintosh Hall and has become a reference point for international researchers regarding the impact of bilingualism in a community. The research contained implications for Gibraltar’s educational policies which, to date, have not been taken note of.

Experiencing difficulties as a result of insurmountable bureaucracy and prejudice regarding his non-EU same-sex partner, Alvarez determined to start challenging discrimination of sexual minorities in Gibraltar. By this time Deputy Leader of a political party (the now defunct Independent Liberal Forum (ILF)), he persuaded his party to back him in the establishment of what was to be known as Gib Gay Rights (GGR). In a GBC television news broadcast on 4 September 2000, Alvarez announced that “the fear factor” was over as far as gay citizens were concerned. From then on, gay citizens would be demanding equal rights as full citizens of Gibraltar. As the work of the group expanded over the years, GGR has since become Gibraltar’s foremost Human & Civil Rights organisation, and is currently known as Equality Rights Group (GGR). This is often abbreviated to ERG or ERG-GGR.

Being marginalized in a society that did not accept him led him at an early age to the plight of the marginalized. When he was a teenager, Alvarez attended Wandsworth Comprehensive School an innovative post-grammar school that was famous due to its choir as well as close ties together with Benjamin Britten. It was during this time of his teens that, via the personal connections, Alvarez joined Peter Hain in his Anti-Apartheid campaigns, which continued at the University as a student in the early 1970s.

The family of Alvarez moved into London in 1959. They settled initially in the Dalston/Hoxton areas in The East End of London but living the majority of his time in South London areas of Clapham and Tulse Hill. Alvarez was raised bilingually with his parents in English and Spanish as do the majority of Gibraltarians. But the reality having to be “foreign” in 1960s London was not an easy one for Alvarez or his family. He recalls vividly the tobacconist notice boards stuffed with accommodations “to let” signs saying “no coloureds or dogs”.

After returning to London after a period of 3 years at an northern university, Alvarez discovered the Gay Liberation Front (GLF), recently reintroduced from Stonewall protests in New York in the late 1960s. Being immediately involved in the GLF’s initiatives, Alvarez was one of the pioneers of Britain’s first Gay Community Centres, where groundbreaking work was carried out to establish telephone counseling, information and advice and weekly community gatherings to build self-esteem and direct the anger of gay and lesbians toward change, not self-harm. At that period, Felix Alvarez worked with the Lambeth Community Law Centre and the Brixton Housing Advice Centre in Railton Road.

Alvarez was also awarded the Gulf War Medal in late 1991 for his civilian services at the time of the first Gulf War in Iraq.
