the exodus was triggered by a sharp downturn in the Cuban economy

Given that gay sex was decriminalized in 1979, this seems questionable given that Fidel has personally apologized and takes full responsibility. I haven't looked up if he's done anything to compensate the victims tho.

Fuck out of here. Cubans have a very conservative culture. Doesn’t matter if being gay was “legal”, there was still persecution.

It’s the same way they have “legal” abortions but there is so much red tape that girls have to fly to Miami for a hookup from planned parenthood.

Do you blame communism for this? It took the party decades to build support for the most recent constitutional reform, and this one only passed with a 2/3 majority.
