Salsa music blasted through the streets of Havana's Vedado neighborhood on Saturday. Hundreds of people danced and waved rainbow flags during a march to mark the 11th annual Cuban Campaign Against Homophobia. Mariela Castro, a Cuban lawmaker and daughter of Communist Party chief Raul Castro, said, "We are working together with the state, with the party, with civil society, to educate the Cuban people, to change mindsets and to advance our rights." On Satruday, Castro was joined by Chilean transgender actress Daniela Vega during the march to end homophobia and transphobia. Vega starred in the Oscar-winning film A Fantastic Woman.
