TV to Air Cartoon on Sexual Diversity

HAVANA TIMES, Feb. 9 – Cuba’s state-run television will broadcast today El Trencito (The Little Train), a three-dimensional animated cartoon of the trilogy Dados a la diversidad (Given to Diversity), a series that hopes to “make society reflect on issues such as sexual diversity, gender roles and discrimination,” the local press reported today.

The project was sponsored by Mariela Castro, director of the National Centre for Sex Education (CENESEX), and its production is backed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (COSUDE).

Mariela Castro is the daughter of Cuban President Raul Castro.
