Cubans approved a measure to legalize same-sex marriage, part of a new family code that’s among the most progressive in Latin America, defying a long tradition of machismo on the island.
Around two-thirds of voters backed the code in a referendum on Sunday, according to near-complete returns announced by state media on Monday morning. The balloting followed a lengthy consultation process featuring 79,000 neighborhood meetings that triggered an outpouring of more than 300,000 suggestions from citizens.
