There is enough evidence against Spanish pedophile network that operated in Cuba

The Castroit regime policy regarding homosexuals was implemented during the First National Congress on Education and Culture regarding Homosexuality in Cuba. This is a quotation from the report: “Although homosexuality should not be considered a central or fundamental problem of our society, it requires attention as a ‘social pathology’ and its ‘manifestations’ should be rejected in all their forms….An in-depth analysis was made of the preventive and educational measures that are to be put into effect against existing locusts, including the control and relocation of isolated cases and degrees of deterioration . . . it was resolved that for notorious homosexuals to have influence in the formation of our youth is not to be tolerated on the basis of ‘artistic merits’.
 
The late Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in his novel the Assault describe the living hell suffered by the homosexual along with dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses and other “scum” interned in the Military Units to Help Production (UMA) forced labor camps.

The poster placed at the entrance to the forced labor camp, where homosexuals were confined, read: “The work will make you men”', replica of the slogan “The work will make you free” used in the Nazi concentration camps. It intended to correct the homosexual behavior applying rigorous punishments with the intention of modifying this social deviation, which does not constitute a crime punishable by law.
 
The Castroit regime excuse for the suspension of the LGTBI parade, due to “international and regional tensions” is not credible. The Venezuela crisis doesn’t has anything to do with the parade. The regime has allowed other parades like the March of the Torches and the May Day parade to take place. Washington Blade International News Editor Michael K. Lavers that went to Cuba to report on the parade was not allow to stay in the country. So much for the support of gay rights by the regime. It is pure baloney.
 
Does anyone here actually read this blog?
 
Homophobia is still alive and kicking under the Castroit regime. The regime record in Gay rights has been horrible. Gays and lesbians were sent to the concentration camps of Military Units to Help Production. A poster placed at the entrance to the forced labor camps, where homosexuals were confined, read: “The work will make you men”, replica of the slogan “The work will make you free” used in the Nazi concentration camps. The regime intended to correct the homosexual behavior with rigorous work, which it considered a social deviation. Some died from torture, others committed suicide and many were traumatized for life, as shown in Néstor Almendros and Orlando Jiménez Leal 1988 award-winning documentary Improper Conduct that recorded the testimonies of victims and witnesses

 
I'm surprised by how long this thread has remained relevant.
 

And did it make men of them?
 

Hey the guy in the picture has an FCB shirt on.

Go Barca !
 
The regime wouldn’t tolerate any protests regardless of the group affiliation. The regime security forces clamp down on the LGTB paraded because they fear that the protest about gay rights would encourage other Cubans to protest in the streets demanding an end to the Castroit monarchical tyrannical regime due to the revival of the special period, which will resemble what is going on in Venezuela. Recently, the regime began widespread rationing on basic goods like chicken, eggs, rice and beans, vital staples in the Cuban diet.
 
The Castroit regime did not allowed Leandro Rodríguez García, director of the Cuban Foundation for LGBTI Rights, from leaving the country and travelling to the US, despite the fact that travel restrictions were lifted in 2013. The immigration officer destroyed his boarding pass and shout to him using offensive words related to his homosexuality. They told him he was banned to leaving Cuba, without proving him with the reason for that. Other members of the organization have been harass and prevented to leave the country too.
 
Despite travel restrictions being lifted in 2013, the Castroit regime blocked Leandro Rodríguez Garcia, an independent Cuban LGBTI rights activist, from leaving the country and travelling to the U.S. He was given no reason for this treatment, simply being told “the computer says that you cannot leave.” One cannot be more Orwellian than that. It is sickening.
 

The current US president has recently tightened the restrictions on US citizens travelling to Cuba.

You are comparing apples to oranges. The Castroit regime humiliated Leandro Rodríguez Garcia and block him for traveling to the U.S. because he is an activist gay defender of the LGBT community in Cuba. The regime violate his right to travel. It was a very selective and premeditated act.
 

Possibly, that not a false comparison though.

Trump has indeed tightened (the already tight) restrictions on traveling to Cuba.

November 1, 2019

"The Trump administration's latest restrictions on flights to Cuba have left Cubans and Cuban Americans worried that travel will become complicated...since then-President Barack Obama restored commercial flights to Cuba in 2016, more Cuban Americans have been visiting relatives in provinces far from the country's capital of Havana on direct flights.
That option will be ending soon; last week, the Trump administration announced that flights to all airports except Havana will come to an end Dec. 9..."


Cuban Americans brace for tougher travel after Trump'''s new restrictions
 
Scientist Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, a dissident whose imprisonment this year caused a wave of solidarity on and off the island, made public yesterday from his exile in Germany that he has been diagnosed with HIV. "I have been intentionally infected," said the biologist and human rights activist. Urquiola fears that the medical staff in the K room of his prison or Special Care at the Abel Santamaria Hospital, in Pinar del Río, would have "inoculated" him with HIV. What an Orwellian regime.
 

The Cubans have weaponized the HIV virus.
 

Fidel retired in 2008.
