Now who's misrepresenting?
Turn your heater down there bud, you're gonna blow a gasket, and then go look up what a crime against humanity is. Right after that back up your claim of "thousands."
Yes it's a fucking crime against humanity, and yes, it was thousands, though it would still be wholly wrong if it was one or one million.

In Cuba, thousands of homosexuals were sent to concentration camps in the late 1960's, together with others deemed deviant by the Castro regime. Echoing the slogan on the gates of Auschwitz, the camps were emblazoned with the words "Work will make you men."

Thousands of homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, conscientious objectors, and dissidents were forced to conduct their compulsory military service in the 1960s at UMAP camps, where they were subject to political "re-education".[55][69] Military commanders brutalized the inmates.[70] Carlos Alberto Montaner says "Camps of forced labour were instituted with all speed to "correct" such deviations.... Verbal and physical mistreatment, shaved heads, work from dawn to dusk, hammocks, dirt floors, scarce food.... The camps became increasingly crowded as the methods of arrest became more expedient".[55]
In the late 1960s, because of "revolutionary social hygiene", the Castro government claimed to cleanse the arts of "fraudulent sodomitic" writers and "sick effeminate" dancers.[71] Additionally, men with long hair were locked up and their hair was cut.[72]
Castro has asserted, "in the country, there are no homosexuals",[73] and denounced "maricones" ("faggots") as "agents of imperialism".[74] Castro has asserted that "homosexuals should not be allowed in positions where they are able to exert influence upon young people".[75]
It makes me fucking sick how you continually play down the suffering of these people.
