Cuba poised for gay marriage

Cuba poised for gay marriage
Country looks up to Argentina which has just passed a new gender identity law
Famed sexologist Mariela Castro, daughter of the Cuban President, said she expected her country this year will pass a same-sex marriage law, although she said Cuba still needs to be more revolutionary in its treatment of gays.
Mariela Castro said she hoped that this year Parliament would pass legislation to legalise gay marriage in Cuba.
But the Bill under debate by lawmakers was not everything that “we would have hoped for.”
She made her remarks a day after President Barack Obama said he supports gay marriage.
