Cuba’s LGBTQ community celebrates same-sex marriage with pride conga

AROUND 200 Cubans marched in Havana yesterday to the rhythm of conga, a popular dance, protesting against homophobia and transphobia, and celebrating the legalisation of same-sex marriage.

Chanting “socialism yes, homophobia no”, demonstrators swayed their hips and beat rhythmically on drums as they cheered the ‘Family Code’, passed last September.
