The Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez stated this Saturday that the fight against homophobia and transphobia is part of the "ideals" of socialism in Cuba, at a time when Fidel Castro dedicated himself to persecuting homosexuals, whom he referred to as "degenerates" and "deviants."
In a post regarding the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, commemorating the day when homosexuality was removed from the international classification of mental disorders by the General Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO), Díaz-Canel asserted that the fight against discrimination was rooted in the "foundations" of "equity and justice" of the Cuban government.

Díaz-Canel stance defending homophobia, is contradictory to the regime, which historically persecuted homosexual until very recently, and now is saying: “is part of the ideals of socialism in Cuba." Most Cuban homosexual point out to the hypocrisy of the regime, since they have to leave the country due to persecution.

According to Mariel Castro, the daughter of Raul Castro, in Cuba there was no concentration camp again LGTB people. During the existence of the UMAP forced labor camps, between 1965 to 1968, around 35,000 Cubans were incarcerated, many of them homosexuals.

Many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people suffer violence and discrimination, particularly in Cuba’s countryside. Prisoners Defenders reported that over 100 transgender women that participated in the July 2021 protests, still are imprisoned and are held with men, in violation of international human rights standards. The regime continues to deny Cubans and international human rights groups access to prisons.

Reports from 2025 and early indicate that the Cuban regime continues to repress LGBT people. Discrimination and state reprisals against LGBT activists, independent journalists, and human rights defenders persist. Social norms and a culture of machismo, contribute to discrimination and violence against LGBT people in public and private settings. Former detainees report being physically abused by guards for protesting conditions. The Cuban communist regime oppression of LGBT people is a persistent issue with a long history.
