On December 27, 2007, a group of North Americans will make history by flying to Havana on the first ever Queers to Cuba Tour. They’ll spend eight days experiencing the island’s rich cultural heritage and meeting representatives of Cuban organizations working for sexual dignity. Activists from CENESEX (the National Center for Sexual Education), the Cuban organization advancing queer reforms and AIDS awareness, will brief tour members on the island scene.

Program highlights include joining the throng celebrating the 49th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution in Old Havana, attending an authentic drag show, swimming at the gay beach, learning salsa dancing from island pros, and sampling the city’s exciting nightlife. Tour participants will explore colonial and modern Havana, sample museums of art and history, and visit the eco-community at Las Terrazas in Pinar de Rio.

The farewell dinner will be at La Guarida Restaurant where the famous 1995 movie “Strawberry and Chocolate” starring Jorge Perugorria and Vladimir Cruz was filmed. In the movie, a young Communist Party activist learns the meaning of live and let live from a gay artistic director.

The tour is being conducted by Sonja de Vries, co-founder of San Francisco-based Queers for Cuba, the first LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) group to be officially invited to Cuba. Ms de Vries studied race and gay issues in Havana from 1993 to 1994, and her groundbreaking documentary “Gay Cuba” remains the last word on the subject.

“The Queers to Cuba Tour comes at an exciting time for LGBT equality in Cuba,” says Sonja de Vries. “The Cubans are drafting legislation to allow same sex unions, lesbian adoption and insemination, and transgender reassignment surgery. These changes are being broadly debated by the population, yet North Americans hear very little about this kind of popular democracy.”

The tour is being organized by Cuba Education Tours of Vancouver, Canada, whose coordinator, Marcel Hatch, insists, “The image of Cuba as a gulag for LGBT people is false. It’s a myth invented by opponents of revolutionary Cuba. As a gay, I feel safer in Cuba than in Canada or the States. Soon island queers will enjoy greater rights and freedoms than their counterparts in the USA.”

Ricardo Alarcon, president of Cuba’s National Assembly, has said, “We have to abolish any form of discrimination against those persons. We have to redefine the concept of marriage. Socialism should be a society that does not exclude anybody.”

Sonja de Vries recalls, “When I visited Cuba last December with a group, we met with CENESEX president Mariela Castro Espin and she told us about the concrete work being done with transgender people, with lesbians, and with families to encourage support of their LGBT kids. Several members of my group were in tears. To see these efforts being carried out in a way that is so respectful and compassionate is not something most of us have experienced with institutions, much less government!”

The inaugural Queers to Cuba Tour will run from December 27, 2007, to January 3, 2008. Participants will stay at the Hotel St John’s in the heart Havana’s Vedado entertainment district. The services of a multilingual Cuban guide and a professional bus chauffeur will be provided throughout. It’s an event LGBT people and their friends from Canada, the United States, and beyond will not want to miss.

Ms Sonja de Vries and Mr Marcel Hatch are available for media interviews. To arrange a time, call 877-687-3817 toll free or email info@cubafriends.ca and sonrevolution@aol.com

His name is Kendall Brazley who for the past 2 months has been earning a full-time income online doing very little work if any at all. He was able to take his family to Disney World and four theme parks because of this business. Before he started his online ventures he was making a measly 35k a year as an appliance salesman and it just wasn’t cutting it. Since then he managed to establish a full-time income of over 20k per month with a fully automated system (www.TheSureCash.com).
The #1 Reason People Fail
Kendall states that people fail because they start an online business, then they have the “what’s next” syndrome. People get into an opportunity then they have no idea how to get their business off the ground. Fact: Once you learn how to do it once, you can literally do it again for any program. Disney World vacations are nothing to your pocket with this system!
He has been working directly with two gentlemen by the name of Graig Garcia and Michael Corcoran in a system called EDC GOLD and Easy Daily Cash and this program is selling like crazy. Just in the last 2 days, he’s made $6,000 and his team members are earning thousands per week themselves. The truth is, his team would be lost without him walking them step-by-step through the program and he loves to see others succeed.
When he got started in EDC GOLD (www.TheSureCash.com), Graig Garcia and Michael Corcoran mentored him as he wishes to do for you. Over the next few weeks, the sales just poured in because of the mentoring he had received.
Kendall has been around online for over 2 months and now making over 20k per month and has helped other individuals achieve financial success. He is currently taking people and personally mentoring them and showing them how to explode their income with EDC GOLD.
P.S. Go visit this site and check out the 3 different opportunities. I urge you to phone Kendall if you have any questions.
