| Description | In Cuba, there are no laws restricting the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics. Law No.54 guarantees the constitutional right to freedom of association. It is worth nothing that in 2019, a pride parade was held in open defiance of the government's views referring to it as "subversive". 3 activists were arrested. HRW has noted concerns on freedom of expression in Cuba which could potentially affect LGBT rights activists. |
