Former President and infamously cruel dictator Fidel Castro passed away at 10:29pm on Friday according to his brother Raul. Celebrations were prohibited in Cuba but the Cubans and Cuban Americans living in Miami and else where in the United States are partying like it is 1999 all over again. LOL One of the revelers in Miami held up a sign that reads, "Satan, Fidel is now yours!". I guess that says it all eh? I didn't like Castro because he was a homophobe and he treated gays in his country like criminals and 3rd class citizens. Under Castro's regime, you could be arrested and tortured just for being gay. That is not right. Everyone on this planet has a right to live and love whomever they wish. That is your right as a human being. Now, I hope that since Fidel is gone, hopefully his brother will ease up on the gays and allow them their civil rights. And hopefully, Raul will release many of the gays that are still in prison to this day.
Fidel was cremated today, less than 24 hrs after his death. I wonder what the hurry was? Funeral and memorial services will be announced by a committee at a later date. I don't care.
