Rice and Beans with a Side of Queer: Socio-Legal Developments in the Cuban LGBTQ+ Community
Figueroa, Carlos A.
Abstract
Over the last century, the LGBTQ+ community has occupied a peculiar space in Cuba that has both resisted and acclimated to the ever-changing sociopolitical dynamics on the Island. This Article examines the Cuban queer community’s socio-legal history in pre- and post-Revolution Cuba along with its tumultuous synthesis into U.S. culture.
