        Free speech in my ass then. Fuck homophobes, actually, fuck discrimination in general, they don’t deserve any platform to do public speech.

          The very same vibe as “public house” being euphemism for brothel in Poland.

          Especially considering “political prostitutes” being also popular eastern european idiom.

    “unusual referendum” is definitely the spin doctors at work but “approves” seems like normal verbiage idk. maybe its just me

    How I imagined the Cubans deciding on voting on the referendum:

    • Cuban A: Heyo, it’d be really funny if we allowed the marriage of gay people just to own the westoids, especially the gusanos and homophobes.
    • Cuban B: Yeah sure mate. Plus, we’d convince our fellow socialist bretheren that LGBT+ rights aren’t some decoys for capitalist subversion.
    • Cuban C: Alrighty then. So do we all agree that gay people should be allowed to get married?
    • All (at least, 50K) Cubans in the roon: Yes.
    • Cuban C: Alright, meeting adjourned. Also, let’s wait a few days to actually approve the ref just to confuse the westerners.
    • Cuban A: Yeaaaaa, we do a bit of trollin’!
