A draft gay rights bill first introduced after the 1959 Cuban revolution, will be considered by lawmakers in Havana in June, Mexican media said on Thursday.
If passed, the law will give lesbians, gays, transsexuals, transvestites and transgender persons the same rights as heterosexuals in Cuba paving the way for unions between same-sex couples, as well as access to sex reassignment treatment and hormone therapy for transsexuals, which would allow them to change their gender legally.
The media said citing Mariela Castro, the director of the governmental National Centre for Sex Education (CENESEX): "a relevant resolution will be signed in the nearest future by the Ministry of Health, which will determine the procedure for such surgery."
