In Part 2, the question and answer portion of a moderated discussion continues. Members of the audience asked the speakers, Sonja De Vries and Jorge Cortinas, questions that called for a further exploration of the impact of race, class and colonialism on Cuba. De Vries and Cortinas talk about their experiences in Cuba and their observations on how HIV/AIDS and other LGBT issues are addressed in the country. De Vries spent six months in Cuba interviewing gay men and women. Cortinas spent a year in Havana, working for the National Center for Health Education. Several key topics continued from Part 1 include: how the Communist party in Cuba is dealing with HIV/AIDS and LGBT issues, the impact of U.S. foreign policy, and the effectiveness of sanatoriums.
