Cuba's Anti-Homophobia Campaign


Cuba has launched its campaign against homophobia, seeking respect for freedom of sexual orientation, under the slogan 'Diversity is Natural' ...

The campaign - headed up by director of the Cuban National Center for Sex Education and daughter of Cuban president Raúl Castro Ruz, Mariela Castro - will try to contribute to "the education of society in general, with an emphasis on university students, about respect for people's free and responsible sexual orientation and gender identity, as an exercise in equity and social justice."

CENESEX "cannot do this work on its own, which is why we have called on the youth of the country, who will become the future professionals and leaders of society," said Castro.
