Synopsis
Since the Cuban revolution in 1959, male homosexuality has been a controversial aspect of Cuban society. In this strikingly honest and accurate portrayal of homosexual life, Ian Lumsden explores the treatment of male homosexuality under Castro within the framework of prerevolution prejudices and preconceptions.
His remarkable first-hand report links the cultural history and current erosion of traditional "machismo," the correlation between traditional women's roles and the relationships between gay men, and homosexuality as defined by the law and as presented in typical sexual education. From the international controversy over state-imposed sanatoriums for HIV/AIDS patients to the underground gay social scene to the issues affecting gay life and family ties, Lumsden explores the differences between being publicly gay and being privately gay in Cuba.

From the Publisher
A historically based, first-hand report of contemporary homosexuality in Cuban society and culture
From the Inside Flap
"[This book] is sure to upset both sides of the Cuban Question, which speaks well for the author's thoroughness and his open-mindedness...adding to [its] value as a resource on gay Cuban life is a comprehensive bibliography, an essay on santeria by Tomas Fernandez Robaina, and the 'Manifesto of Gay and Lesbian Association of Cuba.'"
