...a Cubano, left the US to return to Cuba a couple of days ago to visit family. He is entirely legal and is confident that he will be allowed to return with no problems because all his papers are in order. He is gay and out so we aren't so sure. I think he would have problems if he was straight, but in this case I think he is someone the immigration officials will very deliberately target. The situation is different than the individuals mentioned in this post as he wasn't technically "deported," but we are afraid he'll be viewed as "self-deported" and not allowed back in the country. Hell, I just read of an Australian woman, married to an American military man stationed in Hawai'i, who wasn't allowed back into the US and forced to return to Sydney after a visit to her home. We're afraid we'll never see him again.
