Cuba Approves Same-Sex Marriage

Summary by Ground News

Cuba has voted to legalize same-sex marriage in a national referendum. About two-thirds of the population voted to approve reforms in a new Family Code. It marks a big moment for Cuba, which saw gay people persecuted and sent to work camps in the 1960s and 70s. That being said, there was still significant opposition to the reforms among religious groups and conservatives.
