Mariela Castro Espín, a prominent advocate for LGBT issues in Cuba, will visit San Francisco next week to give a conference paper at the Latin American Studies Association. The State Department would not comment on Castro Espín’s visa, but Sen. Robert Menéndez (D-NJ) , who sits on the Foreign Relations Committee, said the visa had been granted.

Oooooh, I get it now...they're letting in the communist dictator's daughter because she is pro-SODOMY.

Now I understand...it is a "two-fer"...the Obama regime agrees with the communists ECONOMIC ideals and they are also pleased to welcome any pro-sodomy immigrant into America.

Now I see.

She is not Fidel’s daughter, she is the daughter of Raul, who is said to be a ‘maricon’ himself.

If one reads the article we find that Ms. Castro is an opponent of Democracy and support the brutal dictatorship of Cuba. At the same time she is an expert in LGBT issues. Is she going to San Fran to advocate authoritarianism or to support Gay Rights?????
