==Politics and execution==

Lorca was an active socialist and his brother-in-law was the socialist mayor of Granada. He was captured and shot at Granada by Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War. It is often alleged that he was been shot for being a homosexual, and most accounts of his death give the impression that he was a solitary victim. In fact he was taken out for execution on 19 August in a group of about a dozen people and none of the others were homosexual. Lorca's brother-in-law was also shot despite being heterosexual. <ref> http://gayfortoday.blogspot.co.uk/2007/06/federico-garca-lorca.html.
