Cuba jailed LGBT people in their thousands under Fidel Castro. Things are very different now
www.independent.co.uk
In the last 10 years, Cuba has reinvented itself as a progressive nation when it comes to LGBT rights

"Since 2008, gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy have been available free of charge under Cuba’s national healthcare system."

What's the waiting time and quality of care on this? Is it actually well implemented or is it just a law with no funding behind it? How tolerant is the Cuban culture? Is the remaining intolerance mostly from the Spanish colony's Catholicism or did Castro's homophobia leave a lasting impact? Why was Castro homophobic? Were there really concentration camps?

    In a country which incarcerated LGBT people for most of Fidel Castro’s rule, the island’s capital now has gay clubs and bars and celebrates Pride every year.

    As if The UK isn't just straight up on the edge of incarcerating Trans folks for existing and wanting healthcare.
