Gay couples in Cuba bond under new law

The code was approved after heavy campaigning by the Cuban government, and sustain by the most vocal advocate for gay rights on the island, Mariela Castro, the daughter of former president Raul Castro.

It made Cuba the ninth country in Latin America — following Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Colombia — to legalize queer marriage in recent years.

Cuban elections — in which no party other than the Communist is allowed — routinely produce victory margins of more than 90% — as did a referendum on a major constitutional reform in 2019.

Despite that, a third of the country, 33.15%, voted “no.” The message faced a large campaign against it from evangelical groups that reject homosexual marriage.

Meanwhile, 66.85% of the Cubans who came out, voted “yes.” Nearly 6% left blank or voided ballots.

“Which route should we walk?”

My friend and I had arrived at Mi Cayito beach in Cuba, a stretch of shoreline 15 miles east of Havana, in find of gay Cuba travel experiences. It looked as though the beach extended quite a distance in both directions, so we were unsure where to locate the gay section of beach that supposedly existed. The Internet hadn’t been much help in that regard.

Just then, a college-age guy with a sassy demeanor sauntered past with a female friend. We were evidently on the right track. “Follow him!”

On this weekday afternoon, the gay beach had maybe 100 people at most, but it was still awesome to notice signs of gay life in Cuba, where acceptance is growing but still not nearly at the same level as in most western nations.
