PRESS RELEASE
BREAKING NEWS:
Organizers of First Gay Pride March in Cuba Arrested this A.M. in Havana
Unity Coalition/Coalición Unida, AMBIENTE Magazine & Club Azúcar organize a Support Rally and Press
Conference today in Miami
Havana, Cuba ... Today, June 25th, starting at ten o'clock, the first ever Cuban Gay Pride march under the
slogan "You are not alone" attempted to take place in Havana for the liberation and respect of sexual diversity
in Cuba, but as organizers arrived at the scheduled starting point, several of them were met by Cuban police,
who beat & arrested several of them.
Unity Coalition/Coalicion Unida and Ambiente Magazine, who were supporting the efforts of the First Gay
Pride March in Cuba with an information center located at Miami's Club Azúcar - 2301 SW 32nd Avenue in
Miami- will serve as a central point for South Florida's Gay Community to join in solidarity with their Cuban
brothers, sisters & independent organizations.
At 5:30 pm at Azúcar there will be a Press Conference to report the latest on the Cuban March, its organizers
and their arrest.
For more information about the event in Miami or media credentials, please contact Ron at 786-356-1665 or
www.unitycoalition.org, www.coalicionunida.org or www.ambiente.us
The Cuban Commission on Human Rights for people with HIV and Sexual Races, the Cuban League
against AIDS, Elena Mederos Foundation, The Foundation LGTB Reinaldo Arenas in Memoriam, Elena
Mederos Foundation, the Cuban Movement for Gay Liberation, the Havana Transsexual Collective, Havana
LGTB Cultural Center and the Organization of Gay Political Presidio Reinaldo Arenas were all expecting to
participate in this march.
These independent Cuban civil society organizations began to gather at the central park "Don Quixote" in the
neighborhood of Vedado, located at 23 and J streets, a place frequented by Havana's gay community. From
there they planned to depart to the Ministry of Justice with the goal of delivering their demands to the Castro
government. These include the cessation of violence and repression against Cuban homosexuals.
They hoped to have also asked that the current agent Raúl Castro apologize to the Cuban people for the
introduction in the 60's of UMAP concentration camps (Military Units to Aid Production) that were created by
the dictator Fidel Castro, to suppress and punish homosexuals and the religious youth who opposed his
Marxist ideology.
They also demand the recognition of expulsions of many from educational think tanks and jobs simply
because of their sexual orientation and a review of court cases against homosexuals in prison for the offence
of Dangerous Levels. It is also known that it is common practice to arrest and fine the gay community across
the country.
Another of claims that will make these young people in the Ministry of Justice is to ask for the improvement of
the appalling conditions for patients who survive HIV AIDS and prisoners with the disease concentrated in
four prisons throughout the country.
Moreover, they want to draw attention to the political prisoner Jordanys Tamayo Aldama jailed in the Kilo 7
prison in Camagüey for upholding the right to freedom of association in public spaces.
Tamayo Aldama, is serving a sentence of seven years' imprisonment for the crime of contempt towards the
figure of Fidel Castro, because he dared to say publicly that the dictator is homophobic. The latest
information on this political prisoner is that he is on a hunger strike.
The marchers seek to demonstrate the political character of the project of the National Center for sex
education in Cuba, led by Mariela Castro.
After presenting their demands those attending the march planned to proceed to a diplomatic residence
where they were to conduct a press conference followed by a musical concert. All of this is on hold due to
their arrest this A.M.
Other Miami organizations, including those of Cuban exiles are also supporting the gay community on the
island.
Organizations defending the rights of homosexuals and transsexuals are common in many countries around
the world, like the celebration of festivals and parades of "gay pride". But the Cuban government does not
allow the emergence of groups or allow conducting events that are not under their control.

Primera Marcha del Orgullo Gay en Cuba
ANUNCIO DE PRENSA
Habana, Cuba... El próximo 25 de junio comenzando a las diez de la mañana, las organizaciones Comisión
Cubana de Derechos Humanos para personas con VIH y Etnias Sexuales, La Liga Cubana contra el SIDA,
la Fundación Elena Mederos, La Fundación LGTB Reinaldo Arenas in Memoriam, la Fundación Elena
Mederos, el Movimiento Cubano por la Liberación Homosexual, el Colectivo Transexual Habana, el Centro
Cultural LGTB Habana y la Organización Presidio Político de Gay Reinaldo Arenas, realizaran en La Habana
la Primera Marcha del Orgullo Gay Cubano bajo el lema “No Estas Solo”, por la liberación y el respeto a la
diversidad Sexual en Cuba.
Estas organizaciones independientes de la sociedad civil cubana se congregaran en el céntrico parque “El
Quijote” en la barriada del Vedado, ubicado en las calles 23 y J, un lugar de reuniones y encuentros gay.
Desde allí partirán hasta el Ministerio de Justicia con el objetivo de entregar demandas al gobierno
castrista. Entre ellas se encuentran, el cese de la violencia y la represión contra los homosexuales
cubanos. Además pedirán que el actual mandatario Raúl Castro pida disculpas al pueblo cubano por la
implantación en la década de los años 60 de los Campos de Concentración de la UMAP, (Unidad Militar de
Ayuda a la Producción) que fueron creados por el propio dictador Fidel Castro, para reprimir y castigar a los
jóvenes religiosos y homosexuales que se opusieran a su ideología marxista.
También demandarán, se reconozca que en Cuba se han expulsado de centros de estudios y de trabajo a
personas por su orientación sexual y que se revisen las causas judiciales contra homosexuales
encarcelados por el delito de Índice de Peligrosidad. Pues se conoce que actualmente son comunes las
detenciones y multas contra la comunidad homosexual en todo el país.
Que se mejoren la pésimas condiciones en que sobreviven los enfermos de VIH SIDA y de los presos con
esa enfermedad concentrados en cuatro cárceles del país, es otra de las reclamaciones que harán estos
jóvenes en el Ministerio de Justicia.
Por otra parte quieren llamar la atención sobre el preso político Jordanys Tamayo Aldama encarcelado en la
prisión Kilo 7 de Camaguey por defender el derecho a la libertad de asociación en espacios públicos.
Tamayo Aldama, está cumpliendo una condena de siete anos de cárcel por el delito de desacato a la figura
de Fidel Castro, pues se atrevió a decir públicamente que el dictador es homofóbico.
Las últimas informaciones que se tuvieron de ese preso político es que estaba en huelga de hambre.
Los marchantes pretenden demostrar el carácter político del proyecto del Centro Nacional de Educación
Sexual de Cuba, dirigido por Mariela Castro.
Tras entregar las demandas los asistentes a la marcha se dirigirán hasta una residencia diplomática
donde realizaran una conferencia de prensa y habrá un concierto musical.
En Miami, la organización Coalición Unida estará apoyando la Primera Marcha del Orgullo Gay Cubano con
un centro de información que estará ubicado en el Club Azúcar, 2301 SW 32 Avenida, Miami, desde horas
de la mañana a donde acudirá la comunidad gay de la ciudad para solidarizarse con estas organizaciones
independientes que comienzan a hacer historia en esta marcha. A partir de las 5:30 pm en Azúcar se
llevará una conferencia y aviso del progreso de la marcha en Cuba.
Organizaciones de exiliados cubanos también estarán apoyando a la comunidad gay de la Isla.
Las organizaciones de defensa de los derechos de homosexuales y transexuales son comunes en muchos
países del mundo, al igual que la celebración de fiestas y desfiles del «orgullo gay». Pero el gobierno
cubano no permite la aparición de grupos ni la realización de eventos que no estén bajo su control.
