Here's What You Should Think About Before You Go To Cuba

The travel expert and author of Travel as a Political Act spoke with BuzzFeed News about how to travel responsibly to socially and politically complex places.

On the one hand the tropical country is famously beautiful and unique among Caribbean cultures, while on the other it's still ruled by the Castro family and has been called out for human rights violations. It remains a difficult destination, even if actually getting there is becoming easier.


But for travel writer Rick Steves, that isn't a reason to stay away. Steves is best-known for his European guidebooks and long running TV show, Rick Steves' Europe, and is also the author of Travel as a Political Act . The book delves into the complexities and rewards of traveling to traditionally difficult places and builds on Steves' experiences in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere. His program on Iran also was nominated for an Emmy, and he has been hard at work most recently working on a show about travel to Palestine.


All of which is to say that Steves — who is now planning his first visit to Cuba — knows a thing or two about travel to places that are better known in the U.S. for their challenges than their tourist infrastructure.


In light of the U.S. decision to relax restrictions to Cuba, Steves spoke to BuzzFeed News about how to visit difficult places, what Americans should keep in mind, and how travel can help historically divided people build bridges.

"For years we've been taking groups to Turkey and for years I've had people saying I shouldn't be promoting tourism to Turkey because it's endorsing the human rights abuses of its government. But the intangible value of connecting people to people is so important in so many ways.


"I just think that the value of people to people travel trumps the value of boycotting some government that's got bad policies. I think it's kind of hypocritical for us to be upset with other countries without being upset with our own government because we do a lot of things that would merit boycotting also."

Killing In Kentucky Leads To Confusion For LGBT Advocates, Media


Sherman Edwards, 20, was killed Jan. 9.


Via Facebook / Via facebook.com


The killing of a 20-year-old in Louisville, Kentucky, on Jan. 9 has raised concerns among LGBT advocates that the homicide may have been an act of hate violence — specifically that the killing might have been the latest in a national pattern of homicides against transgender women of color.


That belief stems largely from a photograph, apparently a mug shot, of the victim, identified as Sherman Edwards, wearing long hair and makeup. That led many to believe Edwards was a transgender woman, a belief that was subsequently reported as fact this week by national media and advocacy groups.


BuzzFeed News, however, was unable to confirm Edwards' gender identity and spent several days investigating. In interviews, local LGBT advocates, Edwards’ family, and the Louisville Metro Police Department said Sherman Edwards identified as a man.


BuzzFeed News also found that Edwards, 20, maintained a Facebook page under the name Lamar Mirage, in which pictures show him consistently presenting as male.



This undated mug shot posted on WHAS led many to believe Edwards identified as a woman. / Via whas11.com


“I think the picture of him in the wig is what led to the misgendering,” Jaison Gardner, a board member of the Fairness Campaign, an LGBT advocacy and anti-violence group based in Kentucky, told BuzzFeed News.


Still, it is not known if Edwards was dressed as a woman at the time of the homicide, which could be a matter of interest to groups that track anti-LGBT violence.


Gardner had been Facebook friends with Edwards, and after he saw reports that Edwards was a transgender woman, he said he exchanged messages with two of Edwards' friends, both of whom said he sometimes wore drag.


"It is not uncommon for people who are in the black gay community or the black house ball culture to get into drag as a hobby," said Gardner.


A spokesperson for the Louisville Metro Police Department, Dwight Mitchell, told BuzzFeed News he did not know what Edwards was wearing when shot outside a hotel near the Louisville airport and pronounced dead at 11:30 a.m. that Friday morning.


"He mostly identified as a man in how he dressed," Mitchell said. "That is not to say he did not sometimes dress as a woman. He mostly identified as a man in terms of how he looked, but he was gay — that was according to his family."


A family member of Edwards spoke to BuzzFeed News on the condition that they be identified only as a family member because they did not want to be named in any aspect of the homicide. Asked if Edwards ever identified as transgender, they said, "Nope, nope, nope."


Transgender women of color were victims of 67% of all hate-motivated homicides against LGBT people in the United States in 2013, according to a May report of the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs. BuzzFeed News reported earlier this week that two transgender women of color — one in Virginia and another in Texas — were killed in shootings this month.


At least three media outlets — including The Guardian and Autostraddle — wrote stories this week saying Edwards was a transgender woman. Those stories appear to be based on a post at Transgriot by Monica Roberts, who posted the photo of Edwards wearing makeup. She wrote Wednesday that Edwards had been a vicim of "misgendering" when news outlets referred to him as a man, and said the homicide marks "three trans sisters we have lost to anti-trans violence since this year started."


The Human Rights Campaign also issued a briefing paper and press release on Friday that referred to Edwards as a transgender woman. After BuzzFeed News asked the LGBT advocacy group if it had evidence Edwards was transgender, the nonprofit reissued the documents without Edwards' name. Roberts, meanwhile, did not reply to an email asking whether she had additional information identifying Edwards as transgender.


Louisville police have arrested Henry Richard Gleaves and charged him with murder in the case, Mitchell said for the police department. Asked if the case was identified as a hate crime, Mitchell said, “No, it was not.”

Gun Used To Kill Argentinian Prosecutor Had Only His DNA On It

Alberto Nisman was killed Jan. 18, but new test results from the gun only turned up his DNA.



Natacha Pisarenko / AP


Alberto Nisman was found shot to death in his apartment on Jan. 18. His death came just hours before he was going to testify before congress about allegations that President Christina Fernandez protected Iranians accused of orchestrating a 1994 car bombing. The bombing happened at Jewish center in Buenos Aires.


Investigators tested the gun, but announced Friday that they only found trace amounts of Nisman's own DNA, Viviana Fein said, the Associated Press reported. Investigators also said Friday that a security camera in Nisman's building was not working at the time of the shooting.


Investigators looking into the death initially said "all signs point to suicide." That conclusion was met with skepticism, and the investigation came under scrutiny when it was revealed that Security Secretary Sergio Berni arrived at Nisman's apartment before police.


Then last week, President Fernandez called it "the suicide that (I am convinced) was no suicide." The government later said it suspected the death was the work of rogue agents from its own intelligence services.

This Is What Happens When You Caption All Of Your Instagrams With Jay Z Lyrics

A Hov lyric for every situation in life.


For his last 50 Instagram posts, Wesley Verhoeve paired up Jay Z lyrics with beautifully-filtered photos of snow angels, bodies of water, and other scenes of everyday splendor.



instagram.com


Today he revealed the meaning behind his seemingly nondescript captions, acknowledging that they were really "Easter eggs."



instagram.com


A lover of both hip-hop and photography, Verhoeve found a creative way to meld his passions. "I started on a whim right after Christmas and told myself if I could do it for 50 pictures in a row I’d consider it a pretty decent run," he told BuzzFeed News.

Verhoeve's been a fan since the early '90s. "Growing up, I would get hip-hop CDs (remember those!?) from the library (remember those?!) and dub them onto cassettes, make pause tapes from the radio and watch Yo! MTV Raps past my bedtime," Verhoeve said.
