Myself was a several times eye wittness of the pressure by Cubans police against gays. Specific in Havana. I got even to see some very brutal attacks along side the famous Malecon. And still, even in those older times, gay men or Lesbians were elected by the people to represent them in politics. A friend of mine, a man who did travesti shows and was openly living with his boyfrind, became the official voice of his neighbourhood. <br /><br />And nowerdays things are starting to change. Not only, that Fidel Castro apologized for all the government did against Gays. He called it a big mistake and said "sorry". Did you ever hear something like this from a President in the USA or any other country? And Rauel Castros daughter Mariela became a very active and influencial "fighter" for gay rights in Cuba. <br /><br />I think that is positiv enough to be mentioned.

Thanks again, your work is there and documents better than other sources that sad reality. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
