Cuba Decides Scraps Same-sex Marriage Law in New Constitution: Official
Cuba will leave out of its new Constitution changes that would have paved the way for legal same-sex marriage, despite majority support in local assemblies, a government official said.
Havana, Dec 19 (AFP) Cuba will leave out of its new Constitution changes that would have paved the way for legal same-sex marriage, despite majority support in local assemblies, a government official said.
The measure, which had majority support across the Communist-ruled island, would have changed the definition of parties in a marriage from man and wife to "between to people."
But "the draft Constitution will not define which parties enter into a marriage... So that is now out of constitutional reform discussions overall," Council of State secretary and drafting coordinator Homero Acosta was quoted as saying by state media. (AFP) KUN
