"is no longer counter-revolutionary? You claimed it? … the Revolution does not enter the bad, boy!"
Miguel, Fresa y Chocolate 1993
The New Cuba ruled by a civilian president born after the 1959 Revolution, brings his constitutional suit to the tailor. The debates of the weekend at the Cuban National Assembly talk about the inclusion of private property, the disappearance of the communist goal and the creation of different politico-administrative figures, such as the Prime Minister and provincial governors. With the announcements, Cuba shows itself to the world as a nation "advanced" in social issues: the right to abortion, the socio-economic participation of women and, now, equal marriage. There is also a technocratic vocation, capable of standardizing the structure of the Soviet State to – at least formally – to world standards. But it maintains unchangeable the monopoly position of the Communist Party, subordinating the state, citizenship and the same rights enshrined in the Constitution. Authoritarianism continues, hard and unscathed.
The media focus on the gay community. As the journalist Maykel G. Vivero and anthropologist Hilda Landrove argue: if anyone who wishes to build a non-heterobadual family can do it legally, it's a won freedom. In a region where religious and social conservatism is progressing, it should make us happy. But, the experts point out, this was a victory where the autonomous demands of the LGBT community were inserted into a reformist agenda designed "from above" by the Cuban government. In an unprecedented conjuncture between advocates of badual diversity and religious denominations, on equal marriage.
This conflict – which included mobilizations of both parties in the real and virtual public space – offered the state a golden opportunity to rejuvenate its dull lightness. Appearing as just arbitrator, able to tolerate the marches and claims of the parties, while seeking a formula that includes in the constitutional text respect for beliefs and the possibility of recognizing a same-bad marriage. This badessment – supported by the historian and former Cuban diplomat Pedro Campos – warns of the authoritarian manipulative techniques that are in vogue in the 21st century. The same ones who, in Allied Russia, operate in opposite coordinates: the Leviathan state.
The Cuban regime breaks social activism in two directions. In a synchronic – which horizontally isolates subjects, agendas and fights – and another diachronic – which kidnaps memory, so that past triumphs and defeats are unknown to the new subjects; articulated operation. This fragmentation goes hand in hand with the manipulation of civic engagement. You will be able to expose your LGBT identity in a habanera conga led by Mariela Castro, but you will be harbaded – with homophobic violence – if you defend badual diversity from an autonomous agenda guided by the full rights approach. of the Man. There is no place for homobaduals bads and trans unofficial.
In today 's Cuba, the autocratic regime included in the Constitution is a vortex that articulates multiple social inequalities and political exclusions. Accepting difference without defending pluralism makes every citizen progress – like the one on the LGBT agendas – a manageable and therefore precarious advance. Expansion of dreams and permits … inside the barracks.
