Castro blames himself for persecution of homosexuals

It tears at the heartstrings.
From the BBC:

Fidel Castro has said that he is ultimately responsible for the persecution suffered by homosexuals in Cuba after the revolution of 1959.

The former president told the Mexican newspaper La Jornada that there were moments of great injustice against the gay community.

“If someone is responsible, it’s me,” he said.

In the 1960s and 70s, many homosexuals in Cuba were fired, imprisoned or sent to “re-education camps”.

….

‘At the time we were being sabotaged systematically, there were armed attacks against us, we had too many problems,” said the 84-year-old Communist leader.

“Keeping one step ahead of the CIA, which was paying so many traitors, was not easy.”

I knew about the exploding cigar, but this is the first I’ve heard about the CIA paying people in Cuba to be homosexual. It must be the same in the Anglican Church: there are so many homosexual priests because of a CIA plot to bring down Anglicanism.
