What a different set of priorities from those of affluent gay mis-leaders in the US who focus on chasing corporate dollars and logos, while ignoring the dire plight of LGBT youth (640,000 of whom are homeless, without health care and lacking schooling), the poverty experienced by transgendered people on account of bigotry, the double discrimination and persecution faced daily by queers of colour, and the economic hardships of work-a-day lesbians and gay men.

At the same time, Cuba is refining legislation to affirm same-sex unions for 2009.
