Cubans vote on Family Code that ‘protects human dignity’
www.workers.org
The Cuban people will vote in a Sept. 25 referendum on a new Family Code, which, if approved, would expand women’s and LGBT+ rights, as well as the concept of the nuclear family. Cubans living outside the country voted on Sept. 18. The new Code would legalize same-sex marriage, allow same-sex

The new Code would legalize same-sex marriage, allow same-sex couples to adopt children, promote equal sharing of domestic responsibilities and extend labor rights (including pay) for those who care full-time for children, the elderly and people with disabilities. It would further confirm the right to free abortion, paid family leave and assisted and surrogate pregnancies (but not for profit), and it would fight gender-based violence and expand the rights of children and grandparents.

    I need the 25th to come asap! The wait for the results is hard as until it happens, it isn’t a given and there is plenty of chances for it to fail. Given that the masses have had the chance to contribute things seem very very good of course. The real celebration will be after and will be a HUGE milestone, and will be truly something to show the liberals of the world how different words and deeds are! But we can’t forget how low the CIA and other external forces will go in order to destabilize Cuba (and all other AES nations) with election tampering.
