HAVANA (Reuters) - Cubans will cast ballots this Sunday on whether to approve a new 'family code' that would legalize gay marriage and boost women's rights, with the government urging citizens to vote "yes" despite anger over the worst economic crisis in decades.
The Communist-run government - long the vanguard of Latin America's left - has in the last week flooded state-run media with stories and celebratory images promoting a vote in favor of the code.
