HAVANA TIMES — Agent Rene Gonzalez, considered a Hero of the Republic of Cuba, attended the Gala Against Homophobia held Saturday at Havana’s Karl Marx theater.
Gonzalez, the only released member of the Cuban Five, received on behalf of the group a special recognition given by Mariela Castro Espín, director of the National Sexual Education Center (CENESEX).
