Fidel Castro's neice Mariela Castro Esp├нn is an active supporter of gay rights in Cuba and few people realise that anti-sodomy laws were struck down in Cuba 25 years ago.

I read a recent interview with Fidel ( can't find the link now)..in which he said he's never had a problem with gays or lesbians and couldn't have given a damn what people did sexually ( afterall-he was a middle class revolutionary !) . The problem was-many of those closest to him still had lots of the old Spanish machismo and they were gay opponents. But native Cubans were always a pretty raunchy lot

Many wonder what is going to happen after Fidel dies-he's brother Raul is a well known old drunk but there's no way Fidel would leave a vacuum for Cuba to fall apart ( more than it has) after he dies. He is in the end-very practical. I know from friends in the Bahamas that his son is over there constantly arranging deals with international hotel chains , tourism companies etc to turn Cuba into a prime tourism resort.

If anyone ever went to Peurto Rico before it became a bit dangerous-and hit some of the little clubs in San Juan or out along the beaches they will know that those Latin boys sometimes make Sunnee Plaza / Boystown look very tame.

that water looks a lot cleaner than Jomtien !
