Detailed Reviews: Reviews orr rmed by scriptivens of er-intified them such as cleanls, atmosphere, general tips and lotn 2019We had the privilege of gog to Cuba bookg a 5 day ctom private tour wh GayCuba and had an amazg time, one of our bt vatns! Gay Cuba tours answered all my qutns via phone and email prr to arrival, always quick to rpond, and ma me and my iends travelg wh me fortable before we arrived to the port. Our gui was extremely knowledgeable, more that I expected, and very hont about life Cuba, cludg gay life.

THERE’S A GAY BEACH HAVANA! DISVERG LGBT LIFE CUBA

The end of the tour was to go to 1 or 2 of the gay bars that eveng (sce our ship wasn't leavg until 5:30AM) but our group was too exhsted om all the activi of the day to keep the party gog. However sce 's naturally tertg for gay people to learn about gay life other ci, then this is a te gem for that market.

LGBTQ REVOLUTN CUBA: RNERS HAVANA FOR GAY IENDLY TOURISM

While we learned a lot about Cuban history and culture, I thk the bt part was actually beg able to spend time wh the two young gentleman and learn about their liv Cuba as gay men! If this kd of personal exposure to Cuban life, history and culture, wh a gay twist, terts you, and if you have an extend stay Cuba, or even jt an overnight like we had, I would remend that you check out their webse and ntact them for more rmatn! My iend and I had arrived at Mi Cayo beach Cuba, a stretch of shorele 15 east of Havana, search of gay Cuba travel experienc.

It looked as though the beach extend que a distance both directns, so we were unsure where to fd the gay sectn of beach that supposedly existed.

Our hope that the du would lead to the gay beach were realized when, after five mut of walkg wt, we spotted the rabow flag. On this weekday afternoon, the gay beach had maybe 100 people at most, but was still awome to see signs of gay life Cuba, where acceptance of gays is growg but still not nearly at the same level as most wtern natns.

GAY LIFE HAVANA - HAVANA FOM

As of this wrg, Cuba still has no official gay bars (jt the ocsnal gay night at a club). Lbian upl, often absent om male-domated Amerin gay beach, were prent fairly large numbers. As of 2023, there are no official gay bars Havana, LGBT nightclubs, or Cuba gay rorts.

There ed to be a Cuban gay bar lled Humboldt 52, but that place appears to have been closed for many years now. Asi om Cabaret Las Vegas, if you’re lookg for the LGBT+ populatn Cuba, you’ll mostly have to e mon sense and gaydar.

IN HAVANA, GAY BARS HOLD THEIR OWN AGAST THE INTER

The are stereotyp, of urse, but they did hold te for many young Cuban gays, who were clearly open and weren’t tryg to hi their orientatns om anybody. If you vis more upsle and seclud statns Cuba such as Vararo, which is known for s all-clive rorts, you may likely enunter other gay travelers and tourists, moro than lols. This did not seem to be jt a ‘gay men’ thg – lots of dus holdg their girliends’ hands were rockg lf stubble.

Obvly, gay marriage is not legal Cuba, though Rters reported that the untry’s recent draft nstutn uld open the door for eventual same-sex matrimony. In the past few years, a number of onle articl seemed to give the imprsn that Cuba is some sort of utopia for gay men, but most of the were exaggerated. Y, Cuba is gay iendly to a greater gree than many of s Caribbean neighbors, but a lot of those untri (Jamai, Tridad) have notorly homophobic cultur, so beg more progrsive than them isn’t necsarily a huge statement.

So is entirely possible to meet and hang out wh gay folks on the island if that’s somethg you are terted . As more lol policians warm to gay rights, tour pani expand their gay-themed tours Havana, and more Amerin gay tourists e to vis, I would expect LGBT life Cuba to grow and bee more public the g years. Still, the new LGBT protectns are great for lols and for gay tourists who want to spend their money plac that are iendly and receptive.

GAY PUERTO RI

Throughout this article, we will go through some ndid advice on safely travelg around Cuba, which of Havannas’s gay bars and clubs are the bt, as well as explorg Santa Clara’s liberal cy and Mi Cayo which is Cuba’s Gay Beach. In fact members of the LGBTQ muny have been treated horrendoly for many years Cuba, wh homosexualy beg scribed as iologil diversnism.

Homosexualy was still illegal Cuba until 1979 and wasn’t actually regnized as a sexual orientatn until 1986. There are yearly gay pri paras that n be seen throughout the untry as well as a thrivg gay nightlife.

That beg said, PDAs (public displays of affectn) between homosexuals are fairly unmon as s society is still fairly nservative. Throughout the years, gay nightlife has really begun to flourish, so you’ll be happy to know that you won’t be stuck for party statns!

CHIGO GAY CISE CLUBS

If you’re lookg to cram your erary full of gay bars, clubs, or cktail bars, you’ve e to the right place.
