Cuba’s Gay Revolution explores the unique health-based approach that was employed in Cuba to dramatically change attitudes and policies regarding sexual diversity (LGBTQ) since 1959. It examines leaders in the process to normalize sexual diversity, such as the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) and the National Center of Sexual Education (CENESEX). This book is written for scholars interested in LGBTQ issues, Cuba, and Latin America.

If ever a topic needed clarifying and objective analysis in our understanding of contemporary Cuba (so often the subject of distorting polemic), it is the subject of this invaluable study, which—with its imaginative and astute focus on health—goes to the heart of the often misunderstood but constantly evolving Cuban attitudes toward LGBT issues. As a result, we are given a genuinely fresh look at a much-contested subject, and one that seeks to locate it all within the ideological map of post-1959 Cuba.
