Colectivo Galactyco

Colectivo Galactyco (often styled Colectivo GALACTYCO) is an activist association of lesbians, gays, trans and bisexual people based in Cartagena and its surrounding comarca in the Region of Murcia, Spain. It describes itself as an activist collective and functions as a civil-society organisation rather than a commercial company, working on LGBT rights, visibility and anti-discrimination in the local area. Its public activity includes denouncing hate crimes and homophobic attacks, running awareness and cultural events, and taking part in institutional and workplace debates about LGTBIQphobia. The collective is best known locally for its role in Cartagena's annual Pride programme, branded EnorgulleCT, which it organises as the city's LGTBIQA+ Pride. Within that framework it stages round tables, talks and other public activities, often in collaboration with institutions such as the municipal archive and trade unions. A recurring theme is discrimination in the workplace, addressed with speakers from unions such as Comisiones Obreras and from large employers operating in the region. Leadership and public voice come from its president and active members, who speak in the media on behalf of the collective. In the evidence available, its president is named as Miguel Ángel Casanova, and other activists such as Daniel Guirao appear as moderators and organisers of its events. The collective maintains a website and blog where it publishes news, denunciations and event announcements. As a rights organisation, Colectivo Galactyco does not sell products in the conventional commercial sense; its 'offerings' are advocacy, community support, public events and campaigns against LGTBIQphobia. It operates primarily in Spanish in Cartagena and the wider comarca, and its activities are tied to the local civic calendar, including Pride and the Carthagineses y Romanos festivities. Its work positions it as a civil-society actor in the public and education-adjacent space rather than as a business brand.

Colectivo Galactyco is an activist association of lesbians, gays, trans and bisexual people based in Cartagena and its comarca, in the Region of Murcia, Spain. It presents itself as a collective of activists rather than a commercial enterprise, and its history is bound up with local LGBT organising in Cartagena. Publicly available evidence does not give a precise founding date, but the organisation is documented as an LGBT rights organisation of Cartagena, Spain. Over time the collective has built a public profile through denunciations of homophobic and transphobic violence and discrimination, and through the organisation of Pride-related activities in the city. It runs the EnorgulleCT programme, described as Cartagena's LGTBIQA+ Pride, which includes round tables, talks and other public events. These activities are often staged in municipal venues such as the Archivo Municipal in the Parque de Artillería, and are organised with partners including trade unions and institutional bodies. A recurring focus of its work is discrimination in the workplace. In June 2026, for example, it held a round table on LGTBIQphobia in companies, with speakers including a representative of Comisiones Obreras, a labour inspector specialising in equality, and a human resources director from Repsol's industrial area. The event was moderated by Daniel Guirao, an activist of the collective and a trade union figure in Cartagena's municipal administration. The collective also acts as a voice against hate crime. In September 2026 it publicly denounced a homophobic assault on a 28-year-old man near the Cartagonova stadium, in which the victim was beaten by a group who shouted slurs at him. The collective's president, Miguel Ángel Casanova, linked such attacks to hate speech in society, including speech by people who had held institutional office in Cartagena, and called for action by the public prosecutor's office. Through its website and blog, the collective publishes news, statements and event announcements, maintaining a continuous public record of its advocacy. Its history is therefore one of sustained local activism: combining direct denunciation of violence, participation in institutional debates, and the annual organisation of Pride activities in Cartagena and its comarca.
