Same-sex marriage has been legal in Cuba since 27 September 2022 after a majority of voters approved the legalization of same-sex marriage in a referendum two days prior.[1] The Constitution of Cuba prohibited same-sex marriage until 2019, and in May 2019 the government announced plans to legalize same-sex marriage.[2] A draft family code containing provisions allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt was approved by the National Assembly of People's Power on 21 December 2021.[3] The text was under public consultation until 6 June 2022, and was approved by the Assembly on 22 July 2022.[4] The measure was approved by two-thirds of voters in a referendum held on 25 September 2022.[5][1] President Miguel Díaz-Canel signed the new family code into law on 26 September,[6][7] and it took effect upon publication in the Official Gazette the following day.[8]
