The Association of lesbian, gay, trans and bisexual activists of Cartagena and the Comarca "Colectivo GALACTYCO" has rejected the idea of ??holding a protest at the door of the Cartagena premises where two boys were humiliated for showing affection. In compliance with regional regulations given the current situation, we cannot act irresponsibly, point out from GALACTYCO.

And it is that according to the sources of the group, they are receiving numerous calls and messages to organize a meeting at the door of the premises in question so that attendees kiss in protest. Although from this Association they announce a "virtual" action in which they encourage whoever wants to take a picture of kissing someone, showing affection and / or diversity flags and publish it on their social networks with the hashtag #masbesitosymenosmontaditos and citing the GALACTYCO Collective to reach as many people as possible. GALACTYCO's social networks are: @GALACTYCOCT on twitter, and Colectivo GALACTYCO on facebook and instagram. According to the vice president of GALACTYCO, Mar Tornero, "the majority of society does not accept this type of humiliation, and we are observing it in the overwhelming response that the complaint of these young people has had at the national level.

It is intolerable that someone is humiliated for showing affection, says Tornero. From the GALACTYCO communication committee led by José María García, they thank all the people, political parties, the media, personalities from the world of justice and the Cartagena Hoteliers Association for the rejection and condemnation of this reprehensible act.

People see "normal what was already normal", and this has been thanks to the work of many activists who have worked to achieve legal coverage that we did not have, with the approval of laws such as Equal Marriage or the regional social equality LGTTBI, although the latter has not been budgeted since 2016, the year it was approved. And it is that for García, lgtbiphobia has no place in the society of the XXI century, he remembers that LGTBI activism saves lives, and rejects that Cartagena is labeled as a city not very friendly to the LGTBI community, "you cannot generalize the attitude from one person to an entire city, and ensures that we live in a diverse and respectful city.

Remember the communication vowel, that situations like this, unfortunately, happen anywhere in the world every day, and that from LGTBI groups we will continue to fight so that they disappear, "he concludes.
