Queer Cuba

[tweetmeme source=”connergo” only_single=false]
I’m what’s known in the vernacular as a ‘fag hag.’ It was not choice, calling or custom that threw me into the gay orbit at an early age, but rather a fortuitous convergence of nature and nurture. My family is peppered with homosexuals and my oldest brother loved to tell us of his escapades with The Eagle Scout, The Priest, and The ‘Straight’ Guy. As a tween, I was already accustomed to seeing men kiss and knew about the dark and personal horrors of the closet (from the likes of The Priest and Eagle Scout, not my brother who was clamorous , proud, and occasionally obnoxiously, gay; see note 1).

I’ve been to leather bars, bear bars, piano bars and clubs where the dress code is naked and go-go boys dance in cages. I remember one of our tribe – the hottest, most coveted among them – telling me he wished he was linear so he could acquire with me. I treasure the humor and the hubris, honesty and fashion/design sense of my same-sex attracted friends. I go to them for sex tips and appreciate having escorts who won’t try to grope me. They hurl the best parties and usually have kismet with the downtrodden, being an oppressed group themselves.

Revolutionary Cuba has been a fixture in the international media for decades. Topics that made headlines around the globe have included Fidel Castro's death, US–Cuba relations, visits to Havana by the Pope, Cuba's international medical missions, and economic changes under Raúl Castro. One topic, however, which has been pivotal to human growth in contemporary Cuba, has received comparatively little media attention – sexual diversity (LGBT) rights. This study examines articles that focus on sexual diversity rights published from among the most trendy news outlets of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Two fundamental questions are addressed: what is the international media's perception of sexual diversity rights in Cuba? And what does this propose about the overall understanding of the Revolution?

    The Cuban Government’s Treatment of LGBTQ+ Cubans Since the Revolution

    By: Giovanny Bravo

    Introduction

    In 1965, around the beginning of the Cuban Revolution, the Cuban government established the Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción (UMAPs), which were labor camps where the government imprisoned undesirables such as political, cultural, and economic dissidents and, the subject of this paper, LGBTQ+ individuals. The Cuban government’s imprisonment of LGBTQ+ Cubans into these labor camps demonstrates an act of fantastic oppression by the government toward gay Cubans. This action from the government was taken over 50 years ago, so it is therefore important to study how the Cuban government’s treatment of Homosexual individuals has developed since then. Thus, the doubt this paper seeks to answer is: How has the Cuban government’s treatment of homosexuals during the Revolution developed toward the government’s treatment of homosexual Cubans in the present?  This paper argues that the First Period (1965-1979) mostly saw oppression by the government toward Diverse Cubans, the Second Period (1980-2004) saw oppression, yet more extension of rights, and the Third Period (2005-

    Butterflies under Cover: Cuban and Puerto Rican Gay Masculinities in Miami

    Publication Title

    The Journal of Men's Studies

    Abstract

    Life histories of ethnic Cuban and Puerto Rican gay men who live in Miami-Dade County, Florida are examined to explore the strategies men employ to deal with their stigmatized sexuality, their negotiations of gendered self-attribution as they confront Miami's masculinized gay identity, and their reinterpretation of gay stereotypes and their own masculinities over day. Puerto Rican men were more likely to adopt a feminized self-conception and to deal with their stigmatization by moving away from their families. As they consolidated their identities within Miami's gay identity, however, all of the men gradually arrived at a more masculine self-understanding. Key variables in the gender negotiation process incorporate the construction of inherited hegemonic masculinities, as adv as the dominant build of masculinity within the local gay community.

    Photographer Kobi Israel developed close–so very close!–ties to the Cuban men who were the subjects of his new "visual travelogue" called Love Stories, Cuba.

    "I made friends and lived in their remote country houses,” Israel says. “I dined with their families and socialized with their friends, all the while walking the thin line between observer and participant, gathering homoerotic and homo-social experiences, capturing secret love stories with my camera.”

    "I explored notions of the macho and the masculine/militant versus the homoerotic in revolutionary Cuba,” Israel explains, describing photography as “detective work” to “explore the subconsciousness of feeling and philosophical queries.”
