About Cuba

Known for its vibrant culture, classic cars, cigars, and cocktails, Cuba has emerged as a popular LGBTQ travel destination in recent years. While the communist island nation historically had a poor record on gay rights, the situation has steadily improved. Cuba decriminalized homosexuality in 1979 and discrimination was banned in the new constitution adopted in 2019. The country legalized same-sex marriage in 2022.

While public displays of affection between same-sex couples may draw some unwanted attention, particularly in rural areas, Cuba is considered a safe place for gay travelers overall. The gay scene is most prominent in Havana, but LGBTQ visitors will find friendly venues and beaches across the island.
