Cuba - September 2022

The government of Cuba led by President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced a new ‘family code’, in which same-sex marriage is legalized; the measure was approved in a referendum. Cuba is the latest country in Latin America to approve marriage equality (following Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Mexico). The LGBTQIA+ community has underscored the historic nature of the referendum results.
