There seems to be great headway being made in Cuba by LGBT rights activists in promoting equal treatment for the country's long-oppressed sexual minorities. The indefatigable activism of some very brave people, plus a welcome softening and modernising approach from the régime seems to be allowing a lot of progress to happen in a very short time. I wonder whether the great Satan of human rights abusers will pass SSM into nationwide law before the home of the free does.

How embarrassed would you be if Cuba beat your own home country in its much improved treatment of a significant demographic minority?

Not embarrassed at all. Demographically, I'm not sure how significant the gay portion of society is. They are noisy that's for sure.

What does 'demographic significance' mean exactly? Don't camouflage your words in euphemism and verbosity.Not embarrassed at all. Demographically, I'm not sure how significant the gay portion of society is. They are noisy that's for sure.
Well, it would certainly deal a blow to the currency of the 'land of the free' epithet.I wouldn't be embarrassed in the least. My country is not in competition with Cuba.
I'd be shocked if Cuba does anything for their LGBT community.

I will be embarrassed when fawning over communist police states like Cuba starts embarrassing liberals. So, never.
Well, prepare to be shocked. Looks like change is a-coming.
Do you have anything substantial to back up that the Cuban government is seriously considering allowing same-sex marriages?
Read the article. Having the support of the President's daughter can't harm their chances either. Here's an article that bodes well:

There was a time when the United States lead the world when it came to human rights. We were the beacon on the hill. Sadly, due primarily to the radical right wing's influence in our political system, a large portion of the world has surpassed us. This would be no different. The US will soon catch up to the rest of the world in terms of freedom and equality.

I like that term "gay pride". That is about as silly as being "proud" of being hetero or White.
Gay Pride is a concept that transcends its lexical components. It's about rejecting marginalisation, rejecting the shame that heterosexist society has placed upon LGBT peoples through the ages, and it's about promoting solidarity amongst people's of diversity, whatever their orientation.
You're an old lady who hasn't lived any of these things. I doubt you'd get it even with the aid of PowerPoint.
That does not make it better, you know.
I don't think it is that simple and almost certainly misses the conundrum.
In whose opinion? Not to an old homophobe, perhaps.
I am sure that that is, what you would like to believe.
It is that simple. The right-wing has set back human rights in the United States and allowed a large part of the civilized world to pass us by. We are no longer the "free-est" country in the world. Other countries have become the "land of the free" and have left us behind. We will hopefully catch up one day.
