Who is going to tell the Hollywood elite who are such fans of the Castro's regime that visiting Cuba has unintended implications?
Let's see, the thread 149 posts has been view 21,793 times, equivalent to 146 views per post. Foolish words fall in deaf ears.
You are.Nobody engages with this boring blog.
Why would the media cover it when it happened in Cuba. We mostly do not care about third world countries.
The media has always admired the Castro family for it’s success in income equality, single payer medical, and justice system.
The thread is 4 1/2 years old but the posts are up to date. That is why it has been view 22,606 times and posters reply to it. Do you get it?Why are you replying to a post 4 1/2 years old?
Morales often just to perform at parties and tourist places, singing pop songs, ballads and popular dance songs. He wanted to become a professional singer. But after the brutal beating that cause him to loose several teeth, a fracture of the jaw and destroyed part of his gums, he had surgery. Now he is not able to sing and his desire of becoming a professional singer is in jeopardy.Cuban Police Admonish Victim of Homophobic Attack for Speaking to Media

14ymedio, Havana, 28 January 2018 — José Enrique Morales Besada, victim of a homophobic attack last June, was cited by the police on Friday for having called attention to his case by talking to “many media,” both independent and international, as well as for expressing himself on Facebook.
Morales Besada, 21, was summoned to the police station by a plainclothes officer who visited his grandfather at his workplace. “He told him that he had to go this afternoon to see the head of the National Revolutionary Police Department.”
The young man commented to 14ymedio that throughout the conversation they never told him the reason for the citation, but they emphasized the visibility of his case because of his statements to the press. The official media have not made any mention of the attack on him.

LGBTQ activists fears Cuban government misinformation is influencing status

HAVANA - When Victor Manuel Dueñas was advocating for the rights of the LGBTQ community in Santo Domingo, a municipality in the province of Villa Clara, Cuba, he said police officers treated him like a criminal.
He said they harassed him and wrongly accused activists of prostitution just because they were meeting at his home, where he said he ran a community center to help anyone identifying as LGBTQ. The 23-year-old activist was able to leave the island for the Netherlands in January.
He arrived in flight to Moscow that had a layover at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before authorities detected a rise in asylum requests and started to require a transit visa. After spending a few days at the airport, authorities took him to a shelter where he remains, as his application for asylum is pending.

The Castroit tyrannical regime said it support LGBT rights. This propaganda of the regime is constantly repeated by the progressive around the world, disregarding the homophobic nature of the Castroit regime and its set of repressive policies against LGTB individuals.Homophobia in Cuban sports

In Cuba sport is untouchable, one of the most significant strongholds of machismo where homophobia es pasto de cultivo diario. How difficult is life for an athlete who goes against heteronormative standards?
This time the three training sessions ended really late, so the girls had to wash later than usual in the shared bathroom of the student dorms. The hour now clashed with the softball players’ turn to bathe.

We need an international authority for cases like this.
The Asylum support Organization arranged a LGBT demonstration that took place in front of the Dutch parliament in The Hague in support of the Cubans LGTB refugees. Three members of the Dutch parliament from different political parties address the people, promising to make the parliament aware of their dangerous situation in Cuba. They will fight to get a majority in the parliament in order that they will be granted asylum.LGBT Asylum Support Cuba 11-4-2018

Fidel Castro has made insulting comments towards homosexuality. Castro's in his description of rural life in Cuba said that "in the country, there are no homosexuals”, manifesting the idea of homosexuality as bourgeois decadence, and he denounced "maricones" (faggots) as "agents of imperialism."[SUP]1, 2[/SUP]Improper Conduct: Fidel Castro, and the communist persecution of homosexuals in Cuba, Russia, and China
Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter: Improper Conduct: Fidel Castro, and the communist persecution of homosexuals in Cuba, Russia, and China
John Suarez
May 3, 2018
“We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true revolutionary, a true communist militant.” ... A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.” - Fidel Castro, 1965
Film poster for the 1984 film Improper Conduct
Thirty four years ago on March 21, 1984 in France the film "Mauvaise Conduite" was released. The film was directed by two Cuban exiles, Néstor Almendros and Orlando Jiménez Leal. The title of the film in English is Improper Conduct and it examines the "moral purges" of the Castro regime that began in 1964 with Military Units to Aid Production or UMAPs (Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción). These forced labor camps were for those suspected of or found guilty of "improper conduct." Persons with effeminate mannerisms: what the Cuban government called "extravagant behavior" were taken to these camps. Apologists of the Castro regime would like to forget this shameful chapter of the communist revolution in Cuba.

Of course the Castroit regime is not going to cooperate. Most of the time, as usually happens in the case of Cuba, the world is indifferent. If by any chance this would has happened in a right wing country, the liberal main stream media would have pick up this hot story and run with it, but since the Castroit regime is a left wing dictatorship it is not happening.
I can't find this one on CNN but I did find one back in 2011 covering many countries, so yes they do care.

Thanks for adding two more. By the way, most of them are interesting answers.But very few answers.
Che Guevara established the first labor camp in the Guanahacabibes region in western Cuba in 1960, to confine people who had committed no crime punishable by law. This camp was the precursor of the concentration camps established in Camagüey province from 1965 to 1968 called Military Units to Aid Production (UMAP), to confined dissidents, homosexuals, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and other such “scum.” In those camps homosexuals were often beaten, and occasionally raped, by criminal gangs in the camps. Some gays were killed; others committed suicide. The western left didn't care of what was going on, and did nothing in defense of those confined in the concentration camps.
Good old Che! Sadly missed.
