The Association of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans activists of Cartagena and Comarca "Colectivo GALACTYCO" denounces that a couple of two boys have been discriminated against and humiliated in a local in Cartagena for expressing displays of affection in public.The events took place on Tuesday, October 28 at the bar "El quinqué" on Paseo de Alfonso XIII in Cartagena.

According to the complainants, that morning they were having breakfast on the terrace of the premises, when the owner of the premises called their attention for kissing.

According to the story of the young people, the owner reproached them that they were two men and that they did not kiss again, since there were small children on the terrace.

After the humiliation, he warned them that if they kissed again they would have to leave the establishment.The young people were puzzled and called the National Police, who did not go to the scene of the events for "not having vehicles" and encouraged the complainants to "ask for a complaint form." One of the young people has posted a video on Instagram recounting the experience and it has already been viewed by more than 25,000 people. According to the communication member of GALACTYCO, José María García, "from the collective we encourage these young people to report, we cannot allow LGTBI people to continue humiliating us by the fact of being or showing ourselves" The serious thing about these situations is the "Feeling of guilt" that discriminated people feel when they do not understand what is happening, adds García.Mar Tornero, vice president of GALACTYCO, describes these actions as intolerable.

“No person can be humiliated for kissing another.

This is a full-blown lgtbiphobic episode, which society as a whole should not allow ”. "We do not rule out holding a rally next to the premises to show our rejection."From the GALACTYCO Collective they recall that the ultimate goal of LGTBI entities is to eradicate LGTBIphobia in any of its manifestations and events like this show that we are still necessary.
