Díaz-Canel stance defending homophobia, is contradictory to the regime, which historically persecuted homosexual until very recently, and now is saying: “is part of the ideals of socialism in Cuba." Most Cuban homosexual point out to the hypocrisy of the regime, since they have to leave the country due to persecution.
 
According to Mariel Castro, the daughter of Raul Castro, in Cuba there was no concentration camp again LGTB people. During the existence of the UMAP forced labor camps, between 1965 to 1968, around 35,000 Cubans were incarcerated, many of them homosexuals. During their time there many of them died, “both from suicides and from torture. A total of 500 ended up under psychiatric care.”
