How well are Cuba's LGBT support programs actually implemented? (www.independent.co.uk)

"Since 2008, gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy have been available free of charge under Cuba’s national healthcare system."

What's the waiting time and quality of care on this? Is it actually well implemented or is it just a law with no funding behind it? How tolerant is the Cuban culture? Is the remaining intolerance mostly from the Spanish colony's Catholicism or did Castro's homophobia leave a lasting impact? Why was Castro homophobic? Were there really concentration camps?
