Cuba's first gay pride cancelled after organizers' arrests

| | Comments (0)

''Despite a so-called opening in the area of gay rights ... homosexuals are still being arrested and fined in Villa Clara and ... beaten in Granma, Pinar del Rio and Santiago.... We know change is coming, but it's coming too slowly.''

Cuban activist Mario Jose Delgado, who said the unofficial gay pride event had been cancelled, and two organizers had been arrested. The event was not sanctioned by the government and was not associated with the organizations of President Castro's daughter, Mariela Castro, who has been a beacon of GLBT rights in recent months.
