The rampant violence against homosexuals is proof of the intense homophobia under the Castros’ regime. These types of attacks are happening right now. Where are the reports of the Human Rights Watch on the island’s anti-gay activities?Transsexual assaultedhttp://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y2010/julio2010/14_N_7.html
HAVANA, Cuba, July 14, 2010 (Mario José Delgado González, LGBT-CUBA-NEWS-TODAY / www.cubanet.org)-On Monday, July 12, around nine in the evening, three men stabbed Osmar Trujillo Quiñones, a 22 year old transsexual, known as Star. The incident occurred on a city bus, route P-12 in which Trujillo was traveling in the company of 8 other friends, also transsexuals.
Maikel Marin, a 19 years transsexual known as Kira, one of the friend who traveled with the victim, told this reporter that they had taken the P-12, as they usually do, in the direction of the Sport City area, where they exert prostitution, when 3 delinquents began screaming offensives remarks to Trujillo because he had accidentally collided with one of them.
Suddenly, one of the men pulled a knife and stabbed Trujillo 4 times in the belly, according to what reported Francisco Leroy Sanchez, 28 years old and known as White, another victim's friends who accompanied him.
Sanchez reported that, amid the chaos and confusion, the attackers jump from the bus and managed to run away and the driver, without stopping, drove the bus at full speed to the National Hospital, the nearest one, to save the victim life.
