Is marriage equality on the docket for Cuba’s Communists? That’s the word according to Mariela Castro of Cuba’s National Center for Sexual Education.
In an interview with a Spanish radio station, Castro said that the Cuban Communist Party intends to discuss the issue next January at their Party Conference, a follow-up to April’s Party Congress. The strongest opposition to gay marriage is coming from the Cuban Catholic Church; to placate them, Castro said the term “marriage” likely wouldn’t be used to describe gay unions, but rather some variant like “legal union.” Diario de Cuba has the write-up.
