This is the problem I outlined to sloppy. Castro is really no worse than countless nasty corrupt scumbags the West supports - and as you say that includes George W Bush himself Garbage, Guantanamo Bay is wrong and the people there should be charged in court or set free but how do you get an equivalence between there and jailing people for being gay or black or dissenting against the Castro regime is beyond belief. No doubt Cuba was no place to be gay in the 60's. They had similar policies on homosexuality to vice president elect Pence, but black? While the US was battling the civil rights movement at that time, Castro was bringing in anti disrimination laws. It seems on the surface far in advance of the US still.

Well personally I don't think there's much difference between locking people up illegally because they're gay/black and locking people up illegally because they're Muslim. There's also the consideration that the Iraq/Afghanistan wars have left far more innocent people dead in 15 years than Castro ever managed in six decades.

And lest we forget that we were still locking people up for being gay in this country until 1967.
