Cuba held a national referendum in which electors voted on a family code that contained protections in relation to LGBTQ people, as well as women, children, and the elderly. Though the country has a history of discrimination towards LGBTQ people, including sending them to government work camps under Castro's rule, the vote showed majority support for the new law. Some religious groups in the country were opposed, but the government's media releases leading up to the vote expressed support for the code.
