One News Now---The daughter of Cuban dictator Raul Castro has told an audience in San
Francisco that she would vote for Barack Obama if she lived in this
country.
The
Obama administration granted Mariela Castro a special visa to attend a
San Francisco meeting where she promoted homosexual rights.
"If
we don't change our patriarchal and homophobic culture ... we cannot
advance as a new society, and that's what we want -- the power of
emancipation through socialism," she said. "We will establish
relationships on the basis of social justice and social equality .... It
seems like a Utopia, but we can change it."
During her
90-minute appearance in San Francisco, she hailed Barack Obama’s support
for homosexual "marriage" and the loosening of U.S.-Cuba travel
restrictions, saying: “I would vote for President Obama.”
A
number of Cuban-American politicians have criticized the State
Department -- which provided special agents as Castro's security detail
in San Francisco -- for issuing Castro an entry visa. They noted that
U.S. rules prohibit Communist Party members and other high-ranking Cuban
government officials from entry without special dispensation.
