Cuba Libre: Coming Soon (We Hope)
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Latinolicious > Politik
More good news in Cuba!
The new government-backed campaign against homophobia kicked off this past weekend.
Our parent's birthplace had what seems to be the largest gathering of openly gay activists ever in the island's history.
Mariela, President Raul Castro's daughter and director of Cuba's Center for Sexual Education, presided over the meeting.
It is said that she has often promoted the rights of sexual minorities.
Mariela said, "This is a very important moment for us, the men and women of Cuba, because for the first time we can gather in this way and speak profoundly and with scientific basis about these topics."
She joined several hundred activists over the weekend for the International Day Against Homophobia which featured shows, lectures, panel discussions and book presentations.
Blood-tests for STDs were also offered.
Cuban state television even aired Brokeback Mountain for all to see!
There's talks of proposals to legalize same-sex marriages and give gay couples benefits that married couples enjoy.
We'll believe that when we see it, though!
Ricardo Alarcon, a parliament head, said that things "are advancing, but must continue advancing, and I think we should do that in a coherent, appropriate and precise way because these are topics that have been taboo and continue to be for many."
Keep it up! More! More!
More!
fuck cuba and those nigglets!
first
THIRD
blow cuba up! just blow it up. no loss. fuckin stupid people and place. no one would miss it. yawn.
There was always a rumor (since, like the '50's) that Raul himself is gay. Not surprising, then…
Congrats for the gays there!
I have always wanted to go to Cuba and I am not Cuban or gay:)..lol
BTW? UNO??…lol
WHY DONT U GO BACK U FUCKIN WETBACK
firts thanks goooodddddddddddd cuba libre
20th/
Assfucking caveman style is advancing? I think not, it's regressing back millions of years.
What some of you people have written is disgusting
No one gives a shit about Cuba. If you like it so much move there already.
ROCK ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
WOOHOO!!!!!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL YOUR 'LATINA'
FRIENDS SWIM THE 90 MILES AND YOU WALK ON ALL
THE DEAD FISH!!!!! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
IMAGINE IT PEREZ SUCKING DICK ON THE LAND
OF YOUR FOREFATHERS WOULDN'T THEY BE EVER SO PROUD?
thats perez,s parents all happy untill that day the fathead was born; then the day they found out he was a homo,,how proud were they then,,
Yeah, shut up already. Unless you and the rest of the freaking Cubans plan on moving back to Cuba once it becomes democratic (which you all freaking won't, stupid parasites) just shut up about Cuba already.
Why does someone discriminate black? I don't think love is just belongs to white. I'm a black and but my hubby is white. We met at ~~blackcentury.com~~ which tell us love is color blind. Our love proved this. I hope each one will not discriminate blacks.
It's about time. I'm happy for the Cubans.Hopefully they won;t become a commercial mess.
I'm a little jealous. That a supremely suppressed and isolated country like Cuba could make such profound leaps toward universal human rights awareness and philosophical sophistication, in such a short time—makes me a little jealous. And pissed off. We've got senators soliciting gay sex in public restrooms, and gay mayors and governors married to women, living a life of lies. We've got uneducated (and that is precisely why they ARE ULTRA-conservative) religious fanatics who've never even carefully read the Bible—who people actually listen to and even elect to office. When I think about the most sophisticated and modern-thinking countries of Denmark, The Netherlands, and Belgium—I am painfully ashamed and embarassed that I am associated with other Americans who are poorly-educated, ignorant, ill-informed, philosophically retarded, and love wallowing in that ignorant bliss and rabidly imposing it on others.

Having lived in Dubai, I can tell you, nothing but NOTHING frees a populace like capitalism. Why do Mexicans flood our borders? Why do Cuban's drown at sea to reach our shores? We are FREE! Denmark, Germany and England are seeing a HUGE exodus of their native born. The Islamization of Europe will be complete in 20 years. Visit before its too late. The Crusaders drove them out, the liberals let them back in to breed like rats.
I love that retro-styled pic, Perez!
Awesome! Go Raul!

wear white tommorrow to show your support/stand in solidarity with the people of cuba in their struggle for FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY.
cuba is such an incredible country, ot perfect but a profoundly special place. and i am so glad that these reforms can show the rest of the world more of what so much of what cuba is really about - giving people a chance to live in a different way, a way that is even hard to fathom from our side. i'ts certainly not perfect, but we can't exactly say life liberty and the pursiut of happiness is supported by american corprorate capitalism either!
Re: dike –
I am an American citizen who has lived in cuba and attended university there. while i was there i actually met Mariela Castro when she spoke to my class. cuba is wonderful! you should not speak badly (or positively) about cuba until you have been there and seen it and met the people yourself. the real problem is not in cuba, it's in our minds and our own ignorance toward the island and it's people. congrats to cuba. viva cuba libre!
I thought Cuba sent all their gays adrift toward Florida like they did with the mentally ill, rapists, murderers, and criminals?
gaay marriage in california; now cuba?
=[
Re: Marcus Aurelius – Fantastically put! Good for Cuba, I wonder if Bush is jealous, with all the advancements and stuff. Good for Cubans, hopefully one day the embargo will end and families can be reunited and tourism will flourish. Peace & Luv Cubanos
WOW AWESOME!! this is so great!! lol cuba is more advanced that America! i never thought the day would come!
good for them!
What about the Afrocubans…do they ever make it on your page, or are they too dark? Not all cubans look like you, some of them have pigment and nappy hair
I was in Cuba in three and had the time of my life there. Gay life was fun and going strong.
Never mind…I see them in the back serving tourists…
Who gives a flying crap!?
that's wonderful. since Raul has taken over, he has been making slow but steady changes to modernize Cuba. I really do hope the big change comes really soon.
Re: Marcus Aurelius – #20 Not all people who don't believe in a gay lifestyle are religious fanatics ya know
@ American
that is so stupid for you to stay that shit. Perez is an American citizen and he's allowed to say whatever he wants to say. He's defending his cuban heritage but that's something Americans like you can't understand since you don't have a culture of your own. All you have are heritages from other parts of the world. Gay people should have the same rights as the rest of the population. Remember not that long ago, blacks weren't allowed to attend white Universities and they were isolated in ghettoes? Learn more about the real American culture instead of masturbating you some porn website.
To party down in Cuba unless of course your American. Oh well can,t make it so sad,NOT
Why would you put a picture of straight people with this article??? WEAK.
Los gringos son unos hijos de la gran puta. Cuba libre!!!
Wow damn, this post made me tear up, times are a changing . First California allows same sex marriage and now Cuba is sticking up for us .
I love it! I'm so happy 4 Cuba! About the fucking time!
Re: tara BON JOVI ABU DAHBI – I didn't know Bon Jovi ahd mosh pits! WTF!? Thats so silly, I love it
This is good news its always good to promote peoples right gay or straight. Why does it matter if a gay person gets marry? Straight people have been doing it for years and they have managed to screw it up. Wow there are a lot of racist people on this board. Its 2008 and yet ignorance is still bliss to a lot of you. Grow up and look at your surroundings while you are at it maybe getting out of the country wouldn't hurt either.
I hope this means cuba will be back to what it was. I never been there, but cuba is in my background by both of my parents and i would like breathe the air tha my parents once lived in.
I used to enjoy this site-kinda cute etc. But the gay overtones and hidden agenda has driven me away for good…..
it had to be educated people in cuba that will take cuba out of poverty, a nation that has stood up even with the embargo, with a much better health care than america. soon the world will understand that humans like what #1 call niglets (such a derogatory word) are just part of the beautiful diversity that makes us who we are. gay str8 lesbian geek queer niglet white chinesse etc etc… and if we dont get along to fix whats wrong in this world we are all gonna be fucked up!!!! kinda like we r in this ship together pal and if u dont like ur neightboor then u might be fucked!!
i love the way perez makes us feel so special and a part of him by always referring to we and us! how can u not love the guy?
wow. that's REALLY gay.
they just got microwaves too! 2 minute noodles
CUBA IS THE MOST BEAUTYFULL PLACE I EVER BEEN….AND I TRAVEL A LOT.
IT'S REALLY NICE TO HEAR THESE NEWS
WELL DONE!!!
#18 HereIambaby, your black and hubby white? It reminds me of that MAD TV skit of a mixed race couple with a fake talk-show, ebony ivory, but the guy is black, woman white. Hilarious. Frankly CUBA? Yea, so why is it GOOD? So they are doing what now the communist fuck heads. Why do we care about the gays. Fucking 5% of the population (many another 2% or 3% opportunist perv who can't get laid other wise. Why do rich black men go for white woman?
PEREZ you are so fab, thanks for mixin in the gay news on your site, go gays! Australia loves yoooooooooooooo
I don't want to hear about gays and their stupid marriage rights. They shouldn't have them to begin with. I want the celebrity news not all your gay geared news.
GOOD! Now it would be a better time for you there…so GO!
GO ON AND GO!
cuba is a communist country. the people are repressed. they now have access to the internet/computers??? big deal. they are communist. they are not free. if life is so good in cuba, why do thousands of cubans put their lives on the line to come to usa??? open the prisons and let the political prisoners go free.
Good, now maybe you will move back or take the inner tube, whatever, just go home.
It's a ploy to get the homos to come out, and then they will execute them all. Dont trust that government!!!———————————————————————-It's a ploy to get the homos to come out, and then they will execute them all.

Where did you get that pic?!? I want it as a poster. I LOVE it and You!
Perez, why DO you always refer to yourself as "we" and "our",anyway? Do you think you're royalty,or something? That's how the Queen of England refers to herself!
Re: Viva Cuba Libre – Ever since I saw a documentary on Cuba it has held a special spot in my heart.My cousin vacations there every year and he loves it and says it's like being transported back to the 1950's….
cooooooooooool
that picture posted made me sad. Remember once upon a time when americans flocked to Cuba for exotic vacations and had fun? Its so sad what happened to that beautiful country! I'm glad things may start turning around for all those cubans!
How about letting Cubans leave the Country to explore the world???
Viva Cuba!
Be carefull. This is how dictators stay in power without using overt force. They win over certain groups in order to seem like liberators while continuing to supress others. This is how they stay in power without allowing true freedom for all.
uhhh…married people don't get special rights in cuba. retard.
Re: FUCKPEREZ – Cubans are not wetbacks you dumb fuck!!!!! You call Mexicans wetback!!! Cubans are rafters!!!!! Dick! aND NIGS YOU ARE A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!
How funny is it that the only black people in this picture are the ones in the band playing for the white Cubans. How accurate. Most of the white Cubans (money) moved to Miami while the black ones stayed there. I hate to generalize but when you see this shit everyday..it can only be true. Even in paintings, Cubans are racists. The next 2 generations of miami cubans will be better educated and less like the last 3 generations which are still racist, arrogant and choose to assimilate with white america.
the lady poruing the drink looks like pheobe from friends. LOL
who gives a shit bout cuba?
