Cuba Towards Constitutional Knowledge of Homosexual Marriages

The island nation has made major advances in the last decade for lesbian rights, homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals (LGBT), after persecuting them in the early years following the 1959 revolution, sending them to reform camps.

The communist-led country has approved sex change operations and has banned job discrimination against LGBT persons, but proposals to recognise the same sex organisations have remained in view of the slow legislative process.

“The possibility of marriage between two people reinforces the principles of the justice and equality project”, State Council Secretary Homero Acosta said at the lawmakers' collection to analyse the draft intended to replace Cuba's Magna Carta in 1976.
The “Already 24 states have included this concept and could not ignore this issue as we drafted constitution”, Acosta said.
