Currently, Cuba does not recognize same-sex marriage, civil unions, or any other form of same-sex unions. A civil union proposal was first made in 2007, though was never brought up for a vote. It was announced that new legislation was going to be presented in September 2009, with a bill offering all the rights of marriage in Cuba under the title "civil union."[1] The bill will be discussed by the parliament in 2012 and is being promoted by Mariela Castro, director of the Cuban Sexual Education Center and daughter of Cuba's President Raul Castro.[2][3]
If the bill is approved, Cuba would become the first Caribbean state to recognise same-sex unions. It would also be the first communist country to pass any form of recognition of same-sex couples.
