Cuba, May 13, 2023 – A participant in Havana’s annual Conga Against Homophobia and Transphobia holds a sign, “Socialismo sí, homofobia no!/S
Cuba will host the 10th International Colloquium on Trans-identities, Gender and Culture in Havana from May 12 to 14, as right-wing governments across the world intensify attacks on LGBTQ+ people and erase hard-won protections.
The colloquium is part of the XIX Cuban Days against Homophobia and Transphobia. Cuba has advanced LGBTQ+ rights through its 2019 constitution and 2022 Family Code — gains built over decades of organized struggle — while the U.S. government has spent the same period stripping protections at every level, from federal policy to military service to school curriculums.
The contrast is not incidental. It reflects a deeper divide between a socialist state that treats rights as a social project and an imperialist state that treats them as a political liability.
Activismo LGBTI en tiempos de neofascismo.
Tonight, on the eve of Havana's Conga (Pride march), the Cuban National Roundtable topic is "LGBTQI activism in a time of neofascism."
Leaders of Cenesex, trans and queer organizations speak out.

Before departing for Cuba, our delegation began learning about Cuba’s revolutionary new Families Code. But it was incredible to be among these activists — to hear about their work, life experiences, and analysis of the ongoing revolutionary process in Cuba. These activists vividly conveyed how far Cuba has come, rising from a legacy of colonialism and patriarchal values, even while impeded by Washington’s criminal blockade.

Havana, May 11 — The Cuban Conga Against Homophobia and Transphobia took its message of “Love is the law” to the central avenues of the capital’s Vedado neighborhood, along with demands for a free Palestine and against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Representatives of Cuban LGBTQIA+ activism and friends from other countries joined the parade that called for “All rights for all people,” convened by the National Center for Sexual Education (Cenesex) from May 3 to 18 within the framework of the Cuban Days Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
Defending their rights and denouncing religious and political fundamentalisms are common goals shared by LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer) activists from Cuba and the United States. Representatives of the Transcuba Nacional Network, the Network of Lesbian and Bisexual Women, HSH (men who have sex with other men) and LGBTIQ activists from the United States exchanged about the approval of the Families Code in the Caribbean nation, the forms of organization of activism, and homo-lesbo-transphobic violence.
