  • Status is not correct "https://database.ilga.org/cuba-lgbti "Moreover, since 2022, Article 388.1 of the Penal Code (2022) bans any discrimination based on "sexual orientation". This provision is framed in broad terms and therefore applies to discrimination in the provision of goods and services." "Moreover, since 2022, Article 388.1 of the Penal Code (2022) bans any discrimination based on "gender identity". This provision is framed in broad terms and therefore applies to discrimination in the provision of goods and services." This shows that, while conversion therapy isn't explicitly banned, things like Article 388.1 are worded so broadly that they could be used to criminalize conversion therapy for both sexual orientation and gender identity."
