Who would have thought that Cuba would do this?
Moments ago, the government of Cuba just approved free sex-change operation for qualifying Cubans. It is a clear victory for transsexual Cubans. This move part of President Raul Castro’s policy changes. This legislation has been pushed by his own daughter, Mariela Castro. According to BBC reports, she is the head of the National Center for Sex Education and key figure in pushing for this authorization.
In addition, Mariela is also pushing the state to legalize same sex marriage/union. If this approved, according to BBC reporter Michael Voss, Cuba would be the “most liberal gay rights in Latin America.”
Cuba is a communist state. At the same time, since Raul took over the country, he has been implementing liberal policies. In addition, Cuba has free health care and provided free education for medical students. This news shows Americans that Cuba is moving towards a progressive movement. If Cuba recognized same sex unions, the U.S would be in great shame, don’t you think so?
