Human rights paradise polices up gays

This from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel;

Havana – Cuba’s first Gay Pride parade was abruptly canceled Wednesday, before it even began.

The unofficial march, organized with Florida’s Unity Coalition, was not sanctioned by Cuba’s National Center for Sex Education, which is headed by Mariela Castro, the daughter of President Raul Castro.

Activist Mario Jose Delgado announced the cancellation of the march moments before it was to start Wednesday at a park in Havana. He said two organizers who were to deliver a set of demands to the Justice Ministry were detained one day earlier. Delgado said he has no details of the arrests.

So they have cell phones (if relatives here send them one) and microwave ovens (if relatives here send them the money to buy one) but somehow that all seems fairly hollow to me since they can’t assemble peaceably.  Can you imagine how this would running on every major news source if it was George Bush interfering in a gay rights march?
