Mariela Castro, daughter of President Raul Castro, is to be lauded and congratulated for her work on LGBT issues in Cuba. Ms. Machado [leader of gay group, Proyecto Arco Iris] said most gay rights activists on the island have not accepted support from Washington because its policy toward Cuba was predicated on regime change. While the United States is the enemy of our state, we can’t work with them, she said recently in an interview in Havana. Any support you receive makes you a traitor. That entrenched view has stymied American efforts to promote things such as freedom of assembly and freedom of the press. President Obama’s changed policy will make engagement with Americans more palatable.
