Just married transsexual Wendy Iriepa, right, and Ignacio Estrada ride in a classic car holding up a gay rights banner in Havana, Cuba, Saturday Aug. 13, 2011. Iriepa, whose sex change operation was paid for by the state, tied the knot with Estrada in a first-of-its-kind wedding for Cuba. Gay marriage is not legal in Cuba and Saturday’s wedding does nothing to change that since Iriepa is legally considered a woman.
