There is no independent LGBT Movement permitted by the Cuban CP and government, while the anti-communist Roman Catholic Church and the various other reactionary religious groupings, are allowed to function independently. Limitations are placed on queer organizing and assembling for empowerment, but not the Ancient forces of reactonary thought. And the left apologists and deniers, of years of homophobia and heterosexism that were carried out by the Castro regime, continue with their shameful denials and bigotry. History will not absolve that, or those who justified and denied the crimes of Stalin. One can politically trace the similarities and loss of humanity, by the "loyal party defenders". Only Gay and Lesbian people organizing for empowerment and to end the historic isolation imposed, to allow discrimination and prejudice, will create the needed changes. This has been the case in every nation and peoples throughout history. --------- Not a difficult question to answer, in my opinion, since Cuba is a small island in a world thoroughly dominated by capitalist ideology and reactionary institutions. It's better that these ideas are now being publicly aired, debated and combated in the course of a broad debate on the new constitution, rather than being suppressed and driven underground to fester.
