The Cuban government staged a gay film festival last month.
The five-day event was sponsored by the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry and the National Center for Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV/AIDS.
The festival kicked off with Neil Jordan's The Crying Game. As patrons entered the theater, employees of the National Prevention Center handed them condoms and safe-sex pamphlets and posters.
