Castro Admits 'Injustice' for Gays and Lesbians During Revolution
By Shasta Darlington, CNN
Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said he acknowledges the persecution of gays and lesbians during the Revolution in his country, according to a newspaper interview published Tuesday.
Throughout the 1960s and '70s, Cuba sent openly gay men to labor camps without charge or trial.
"They were moments of great injustice, great injustice!" Castro told journalist Carmen Lira Saade from the Mexican daily La Jornada. "If someone is responsible, it's me."

"Bless you, my son. For your penance you must make a speech and recite three Hail Marys."
"Errr . . . padre, couldn't I just drink 3 Bloody Marys and skip the speech?"
