HAVANA, May 5 (UPI) -- Activists in Cuba plan to hold a symbolic same-sex marriage ceremony this weekend to raise awareness for the rights of the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, according to reports.
National Sex Education Center head Mariela Castro, who is a member of Cuba's National Assembly and daughter of President Raul Castro, will lead the event, which coincides with Havana's annual gay pride parade.
