Abstract:
Cuban society's traditionally chauvinistic and homophobic nature is little by little opening up to sexual diversity -a fact largely disavowed until quite recently- to the point that some strings are being pulled to give its acceptance a legal character. Seen for centuries as the "right" rule of conduct, heterosexuality has lost ground to other sexual preferences and behaviors which turn-of-the- century Cuba can no longer deny.
Homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals and transvestites are all an increasingly visible sector, yet to be absorbed by mainstream society but partly tolerated, if not accepted, in academic, university and cultural circles, as well as among people sensitized to this issue.
