Reuters further reports that the referendum was campaigned on radio stations and TV channels across the island, with billboards promoting diversity seen on the highways and streets of Havana. Rallies were seen across El Malec\u00f3n, Havana\u2019s famous oceanfront strip, calling for the legalization of the Family Code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC News further reports the opposition to the reforms were expressed mainly by religious and conservative groups on the island. Leading up to the vote, the \u2018Family Code\u2019 underwent more than two dozen drafts and many hours-long community debates. Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel spoke as he voted on the day of the referendum, expressing that he expected most of the island\u2019s population to vote \u2018yes\u2019 and that the Family Code represents the diversity of Cuba\u2019s families, people and beliefs. BBC News adds that preliminary results on September 26 showed 66 percent of votes counted so far were in favor of the reform. Electoral Council president Alina Balseiro stated on state television that the law required a 50 percent of voters\u2019 approval in order for the referendum to be implemented into law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/cuba-approves-same-sex-marriage-in-sweeping-referendum\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Newshour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the law also allows broader rights for grandparents in regard to grandchildren, protection of elderly citizens, and measures against gender-based violence. The approval by Cuba\u2019s National Assembly comes after years of debate on such reforms. President Diaz-Canel was a strong supporter of the bill, seen voting and speaking with reporters on the day of the reform. Several conservative and religious leaders on the island were also present at the polling stations, expressing concern or opposition to the law. Many expressed that their main concern was about the weakening of nuclear families in Cuba.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/cuba-vote-same-sex-marriage-pressure-builds-end-it-us-1725741\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Newsweek<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the referendum held in Cuba makes history in the island. Some have been comparing the recent vote in Cuba to its neighbor 90 miles north, the United States.
