Are You Gay? Che Guevara Would Have Sent You To A Concentration Camp
Today, after 50 years of his death, many people still remember Ernesto “Che” Guevara as a warrior for social justice.

Che Guevara also helped establish the first Cuban concentration camp in Guanahacabibes in 1960. This camp was the first of many. From the Nazis, the Cuban government also adapted from the Nazis the motto at Auschwitz “Work sets you free” changing it to
“Work will make you men.” According to Álvaro Vargas Llosa, homosexuals, Jehova’s Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and others who were believed to have committed a crime against revolutionary morals, were forced to work in these camps to correct their “anti-social behavior.” Many of them died; others were tortured or raped.

Death, to Guevara, was a necessity for revolution. He had no regard for human life.
Today, 50 years after his death, it is important to remember Ernesto Che Guevara as the person he was: a homophobic, racist, mass murderer with intent to use any means to achieve his self-declared superior society.
