[Marcel Hatch]

LGBT CUBA is pleased to feature a fascinating January 1, 2009 video interview with Mariela Castro Espin by Anastasia Haydulina of Russia Today Television in Havana Cuba.

Mariela Castro Espin is Director of CENESEX (National Center for Sexual Education) and a leading authority and proponent of LGBT freedoms in Cuba and globally.

She addresses issues of how Cuban society is dealing with changing perceptions of sexuality and concrete measures benefiting LGBTs. Mariela also reflects on pending legislation, transsexualism, same-sex unions, gay rights, AIDS, her father, President Raul Castro, her mother, Vilma Espin, founder and President of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), woes caused by the US economic blockade of Cuba, and her views on Barack Obama, as well as the history of the Revolution.
