“More than 1,000 gay, lesbian and transgender Cubans marched through Havana on Saturday,” reports Reuters, “proudly displaying their truest selves.”
This once-unthinkable display in Cuba was no less than its eighth annual “March Against Homophobia and Transphobia.” This one took on extra special meaning for 20 couples who “symbolically exchanged” wedding vows, even as same-sex marriage remains illegal in Cuba, but obviously not for long. If this can happen under the dictatorial nose of despots Fidel and Raul Castro, then it’s already permissible.
Gay Cubans erupted into a celebratory parade, banging conga drums and waving rainbow-colored banners. The special day is regularly celebrated just after May Day, the high holy day for the communist state.
One gleeful gay man called the celebration “a dream we never thought would have been possible.” A lesbian participant agreed: “In the interior of the country, you couldn’t even dream about an event like this.” She exchanged vows with her partner, and added: “It’s a unique event and surprising for gays who can show their faces without having to hide from anyone.”

Yes, just like Obama, Raul has "evolved" on the issue.
Fellow communist travelers.

I’m guessing he’s figuring he can work out a deal for DHS to come get them ALL and fly them back to the land of the big gay carnivale.
The UN under Agenda 21 want among other things to reduce the world population by 85%. Since homosexuals do not reproduce they destroy religion and help reduce population.
Phobia means an irrational fear of something. I am NOT afraid of any gay people. I fear only my God. And since that’s not irrational I am not a God-a-phobe.
Yes, Homonausea is a more apt term.
Because homosexuals have money, and Cuba doesn’t.
Obama probably gave up Gitmo and who knows what else in exchange for rights for LGBTQ; no other group.
Homonausea - yes that’s much more accurate - and will probably drive libs crazy if they hear it used.
I remember reading several years ago that it was an open secret that Raul was gay. I have not heard a word about it for a long time now.
Among Cubans (and I know a few) the open secret is that Raul Castro is a raving queen. Yes, he keeps up appearances with a family, but is widely believed to have a harem of young men.
Its not admitted publicly, but every Cuban has heard stories.
Homo-Nausea was coined by some other fed-up FReeper, I just borrowed it :-)
Yep. They could quickly and easily grab the gay cruises
that go into Key West.
No doubt Bradley Manning help convince them they need to get to know more gay people.
HIV strain found in Cuba could be the most aggressive ever studied in humans
Cuban cigars take on a whole new meaning.
