Well-known Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez has now been chosen as the couple's witness for the marriage and is planning to run live streaming video on her blog via Twitter. "Wendy and Ignacio are sending Cuba into the third millennium," Sanchez wrote on her blog desdecuba.com/generaciony/. Among the Cuban dissidents in attendance will be members of the gay community and the Ladies in White -- wives and other female relatives of political prisoners. Diplomats from the US interests section in Cuba also will be present. Estrada and Iriepa say they knew they were in love at first sight, which happened on May 13, at Cenesex. Two days later, Estrada invited Iriepa to dinner, and they were living together a week later. Now, it's wedding time."Total symbiosis," Iriepa told AFP. "I always said I was gay," Estrada said. "But with Wendy, it's totally different. Today, I don't know what I am -- all I know is that I am in love with a woman." Iriepa says she sees no problem with their unusual love story. "He's gay, but he's a man. He has a penis and he makes me happy. I had a penis, which I used a lot when I was selling myself on the streets. Now, if I need to resort to sex toys for him, I will do it," the transsexual said. Estrada insists: "Our wedding will be an ode to freedom, and the rights of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual) community." Since 1988, 16 sex change operations have been legally performed in Cuba. Mariela Castro's Cenesex is lobbying for the legalization of same-sex marriage in the island nation.
