Pretty much the only ones that 'fled cuba' did so to avoid justice. Their families tend to be far right conservatives, since they were the ones overthrown.

Reinaldo Arenas would have liked to say something here.

I did say pretty much. The repression of lgbt by soviet and non soviet forces, each blaming the other for the cause, was a terrible time in history. However for every person like arenas there's are least a dozen 'we hate castro because he brainwashed the servant family that had been loyal to us for decades'.
