Two Cuban LGBT activists on Sunday asked for asylum in the Netherlands.

Victor Manuel Dueñas, who founded an LGBT community center in the Cuban town of Santo Domingo, and his cousin, bought roundtrip tickets to Moscow from Havana’s José Martí International Airport with a layover at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

Dueñas and his cousin left Havana on Saturday night and arrived in Amsterdam the next day. Dueñas posted a short video to his Facebook page before he and his cousin formally asked for asylum.

According to the MSM the Castroit regime has made substantial progress in LGTB rights, but the real facts contradicts those reports. These LGTB Cubans seeking asylum in the Netherlands that operated outside of the CENESEX organization, are oppressed and persecuted by the Castroit regime.

Mariela Castro, part of the Castroit monarchical regime, will not lend her support to independents LGTB organizations. She could not care less about any Cubans human rights. Her father inherited the animal farm from his uncle that treated gays like lepers. Her CENESEX organization, is just a publicity stunt.

The media has always admired the Castro family for it’s success in income equality, single payer medical, and justice system.

14ymedio, Havana, 28 January 2018 — José Enrique Morales Besada, victim of a homophobic attack last June, was cited by the police on Friday for having called attention to his case by talking to “many media,” both independent and international, as well as for expressing himself on Facebook.

Morales Besada, 21, was summoned to the police station by a plainclothes officer who visited his grandfather at his workplace. “He told him that he had to go this afternoon to see the head of the National Revolutionary Police Department.”

The young man commented to 14ymedio that throughout the conversation they never told him the reason for the citation, but they emphasized the visibility of his case because of his statements to the press. The official media have not made any mention of the attack on him.

Morales often just to perform at parties and tourist places, singing pop songs, ballads and popular dance songs. He wanted to become a professional singer. But after the brutal beating that cause him to loose several teeth, a fracture of the jaw and destroyed part of his gums, he had surgery. Now he is not able to sing and his desire of becoming a professional singer is in jeopardy.

He has the courage to go public, due to the fact that since the last November the prosecutor decided to close the criminal process of his case, and the Cenesex, led by Mariela Castro, has not help him so far.

LGBTQ activists fears Cuban government misinformation is influencing status

HAVANA - When Victor Manuel Dueñas was advocating for the rights of the LGBTQ community in Santo Domingo, a municipality in the province of Villa Clara, Cuba, he said police officers treated him like a criminal.

He said they harassed him and wrongly accused activists of prostitution just because they were meeting at his home, where he said he ran a community center to help anyone identifying as LGBTQ. The 23-year-old activist was able to leave the island for the Netherlands in January.

He arrived in flight to Moscow that had a layover at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before authorities detected a rise in asylum requests and started to require a transit visa. After spending a few days at the airport, authorities took him to a shelter where he remains, as his application for asylum is pending.

Despite the Castroit regime claims of tolerance of LGTB Cubans, there situation in the island remain dreadful. They are subject to harassment, persecution and imprisonment. Those are the reason that a group of them asked for asylum in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands grant asylum to people who would be in danger if they were to return to their own country. Asylum seekers are permitted to stay, among other, because they belong to a particular social group. As can be seen their asylum case looks clear cut. After all they have been granting asylum to LGTB from Iran. So far they have not granted them asylum.

Homophobia in Cuban sports
Homophobia in Cuban sports

Editor’s note: Tremenda Nota is an independent e-magazine in Cuba that reports on the country’s LGBT and other minority communities and young people. It is a Washington Blade media partner in Latin America.

Tremenda Nota originally published this story on its website in Spanish.

In Cuba sport is untouchable, one of the most significant strongholds of machismo where homophobia es pasto de cultivo diario. How difficult is life for an athlete who goes against heteronormative standards?

This time the three training sessions ended really late, so the girls had to wash later than usual in the shared bathroom of the student dorms. The hour now clashed with the softball players’ turn to bathe.

The Castroit tyrannical regime said it support LGBT rights. This propaganda of the regime is constantly repeated by the progressive around the world, disregarding the homophobic nature of the Castroit regime and its set of repressive policies against LGTB individuals.
 
We need an international authority for cases like this.

We have one. It's called the United Nations and it has been condemning the only nation to ever be convicted of state terrorism, the USA, for the last quarter century for the vicious US terrorism against Cuba, by a vote usually in the range of 198 to 2 [US and Israel].

Why no sanctions on the war criminal/terrorist USA?

Improper Conduct: Fidel Castro, and the communist persecution of homosexuals in Cuba, Russia, and China
Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter: Improper Conduct: Fidel Castro, and the communist persecution of homosexuals in Cuba, Russia, and China

John Suarez
May 3, 2018

“We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true revolutionary, a true communist militant.” ... A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.” - Fidel Castro, 1965

Film poster for the 1984 film Improper Conduct

Thirty four years ago on March 21, 1984 in France the film "Mauvaise Conduite" was released. The film was directed by two Cuban exiles, Néstor Almendros and Orlando Jiménez Leal. The title of the film in English is Improper Conduct and it examines the "moral purges" of the Castro regime that began in 1964 with Military Units to Aid Production or UMAPs (Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción). These forced labor camps were for those suspected of or found guilty of "improper conduct." Persons with effeminate mannerisms: what the Cuban government called "extravagant behavior" were taken to these camps. Apologists of the Castro regime would like to forget this shameful chapter of the communist revolution in Cuba.

Fidel Castro has made insulting comments towards homosexuality. Castro's in his description of rural life in Cuba said that "in the country, there are no homosexuals”, manifesting the idea of homosexuality as bourgeois decadence, and he denounced "maricones" (faggots) as "agents of imperialism."[SUP]1, 2[/SUP]

These are Fidel Castro comments about homosexuality in a 1965 interview: “We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true Revolutionary, a true communist. A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant Communist must be.”[SUP]3[/SUP]

Castro got rid of criminals, mentally ill patients and “homosexuals” by forcing, according to the regime “this scum out of Cuba”, and sending them to the US during the 1980 Mariel boatlift.

Of course the Castroit regime is not going to cooperate. Most of the time, as usually happens in the case of Cuba, the world is indifferent. If by any chance this would has happened in a right wing country, the liberal main stream media would have pick up this hot story and run with it, but since the Castroit regime is a left wing dictatorship it is not happening.

Pre-criminal danger to society is a legal charge under the Castroit regime law, which allows the authorities to detain people whom they think they are likely to commit crimes in the future. Under Cuba's penal code, the charge covers behaviors contrary “to the standards of communist morality.” The charge carries a penalty of up to four years in prison. By using this law the regime imprisons people without justification. Many LGBT people through the years have been jailed under those charges. This is Orwellian and is happening now in the island of Dr. Castro.
 
Che Guevara established the first labor camp in the Guanahacabibes region in western Cuba in 1960, to confine people who had committed no crime punishable by law. This camp was the precursor of the concentration camps established in Camagüey province from 1965 to 1968 called Military Units to Aid Production (UMAP), to confined dissidents, homosexuals, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and other such “scum.” In those camps homosexuals were often beaten, and occasionally raped, by criminal gangs in the camps. Some gays were killed; others committed suicide. The western left didn't care of what was going on, and did nothing in defense of those confined in the concentration camps.
