() — The National Assembly of Cuba approved a law on Friday that could generate radical changes in conjugal and family rights in the country.
The Family Code seeks to “protect vulnerable sectors of society” and could pave the way for same-sex marriage and an end to other family-related discrimination.
The referendum also establishes protections for children, the elderly, foster parents and women’s rights.
“Historic day at @AsambleaCuba. We are deeply moved to vote in favor of the #CódigoDeLasFamilias”, tweeted this saturday the vice president of the National Assembly, Ana Mari Machado.
“No one is excluded,” added Machado, encouraging a “yes” vote, “because I believe in love and affection.”
The Family Code will be submitted to a referendum on September 25.
