There is still no guarantee that when the National Assembly convenes later this year, under the watchful eye of Raul Castro, it will approve Mariela's gay rights bill.
If it does, though, this would mark a revolutionary change in Cuba's sexual politics.
It appears Cuba is moving further forward in human rights under President Raul Castro.
Mariela Castro (photo), daughter of the current President, presses for homosexual and trans-sexual rights in her country and, with her father's blessings.
Ms. Castro denounces Cuba's past treatment of homosexuals and trans-sexuals and has introduced the Gay Rights Bill to the Cuban National Assembly, who convenes later this year.
