Background
Mendicutti was born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, near Cádiz, a province of Spain where he attended the Instituto Padre Luis Coloma de Jerez school.[4] In 1972, Mendicutti moved to Madrid where he studied journalism and began writing for newspapers and magazines. Mendicutti had a column in the El Mundo, a daily newspaper since its foundation, wrote stories for the now defunct gay Zero and is currently a commentator on television. In 2014, El Mundo ranked him 28 in the most influential 50 gays in Spain saying he is very active in the gay movement.[3][5] For his public activism, a plaza was built in his honor at his native city.
Mendicutti and Spanish writer Almudena Grandes, who died in 2021, were very good friends.[6][7][8]
