Do you have a source for your claims? The only information about LGBTQ+ rights on Cuba I could find is that not only is discrimination based on sexuality and gender identity is illegal, but a new Family Code who includes homosexual relationships is also being drafted as of 2021.

Please do not use our suffering for gotchas on internet discussions. If you actually care, do something about it instead.

Are you Cuban?


Do you really want to use actions committed in the 1960s as baselines to judge an entire country today? The United States, 20 years later, allowed LGBTQ+ people to literally die on the streets by HIV.

I'm a transgender woman who lives in a country with an active agenda against LGBTQ+ people today, and will not stand for my (and my friends') suffering being used to spread any propaganda that doesn't seek to liberate us.

Same leaders. Same party.

A house divided against itself, cannot stand. Let's defend the Cuban regime because... it doesn't help the cause of your country's LGBTQ+ people?
