Sexual Diversity in Cuba: New Legislation Reflects a Shift in Popular Opinion
4 March 2008
Life in Cuba for people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender can be difficult. Many complain that there are few meeting places where they can gather, and transgender or cross-dressing Cubans are often hassled by police officers who see them as a threat to public order. The prevailing machismo culture in Cuba that celebrates traditional gender roles has been slow to accept those living outside those prescribed norms, either through gender variance or non-dominant sexual preferences. In this article, Research Associate Danielle Barav discusses the recently introduced legislation to provide more medical and legal rights to transgender individuals, as well as a reform of the Family Code to create civil unions.
