Women’s Liberation Movement Discuses Gay Persecution in Cuba
Women’s Liberation Movement members gather on June 25, 1977 for a discussion panel in America after a somewhat recent trip to Cuba to discuss the current situation on gay rights in Cuba. The conversation begins with the question of whether or not Cuba’s anti- gay feelings come from underdevelopment or sexism. Panel members share their experiences and encounters in Cuba with those who were openly gay, closeted gay, and anti- gay. Their findings show that people who are anti- gay could not provide any reasonable political arguments supporting their stance and most of their feelings stem from beliefs held prior to the revolution. There is disagreement in the group whether or not gay Americans should go in and inspire gay Cubans to stand up for themselves or if Cubans need to be the ones to provide their own liberation.
