A month after beginning his series Improper Behavior with close-up portraits, Alejandro González continued the project by photographing jubilant young people at a gay pride party at Mi Cayito, a popular gay beach east of Havana that little more than a decade earlier had been subject to police raids, arrests, fines, and threats of imprisonment.
Un mes después de comenzar su serie Conducta impropia con retratos en primer plano, Alejandro González continuó el proyecto fotografiando a jóvenes llenos de alegría en una fiesta del orgullo gay en la playa Mi cayito, al este de La Habana. El sitio, de reunión habitual para esta comunidad, había sido objeto de redadas policiales, arrestos, multas y amenazas de encarcelamiento poco más de una década antes.
