In yet another example of the steps towards a more progressive society in Mexico’s capital city, gay prisoners are now allowed to have conjugal visits like their heterosexual counterparts. Mexico’s La Jornada reports:
For the first time, a gay prisoner was allowed to exercise his right to intimate visits in a prison in Mexico City, after the Human Rights Commission of Federal District (CDHDF) gave the recommendation on February 8th of last year. [The recommendation] was derived from a complaint by Mr. Agustín N., who said he was denied intimate visits with his partner, a prisoner, at the Santa Marta Acatitla prison on multiple occasions. This was called out by the CDHDF as a violation of the rights of prisoners and of the right to not be discriminated against because of sexual orientation.

The Cuban exile community partied in the streets thinking el barbudo to be dead or near dead and the U.S. made plans on what to do with a post-Fidel Cuba. But the parties and speculation didn’t last long as Fidel recovered from a still mysterious intestinal operation (yes yes we know commenter- you think its Crohn’s) Fidel has been representing more than ever, even if not publicaly.
