Havana, is specially what cities in the United States & Europe, pre-internet, once called “cruising grounds” - areas that have for the most part become quaint artifacts of the gay past, replaced by hookup apps like Grindr, Jack’d and Scruff. We have witnessed the evolution of a gay scene in Havana throughout all its om a very underground gay nightlife in Havana at the beginning (when illegal fiestas of diez pesos took place) to a very vibrant gay scene in Havana with plenty of bars, clubs & gay friendly places filled with the hottest crowd, every sigle night of the week!

In 1993, the release of the Oscar-nominated gay Cuban film Fresa & Choclate (the conflicted relationship between a committed Marxist student & a flamboyantly gay artist) raised a national debate about gay life in Cuba! Since the 1990s, Mariela Castro (daughter of our current president) became a campaigner of LGBT rights in Cuba & has been supporter of same-sex unions in Cuba & access to gender reassignment surgery.
