Castro himself took the blame for the mistreatment of the LGBTQ community in early revolutionary Cuba, calling it a "great mistake." Thanks to Cuba's adoption of Marxism-Leninism, and generally putting a focus on the people, Cuba has made fantastic strides. Cuba's current Family Code is one of the most LGBTQ friendly codes in the entire world. It was thanks to Che, Castro, and the revolutionaries in general that a more progressive society came to be.
