- "Gay rights is an issue heard around the world, including Cuba. Free Havana paints a vivid picture of what it has been like to be gay in Cuba, though the candid stories of six gay and lesbian individuals. From the Batista era, to the revolution, to the Mariel boatlift, to present-day Cuba, Free Havana exposes the evolution of gay life from a time when homosexuality was considered a punishable crime, to current efforts to promote a greater acceptance of freedom of sexual orientation. Honest in approach and poignant in content, the stories of the six Cubans will inform and inspire"--Container.
