Millions of Cubans turned out to vote on a major overhaul of the

LGBTQ+ couples to adopt children and other progressive
measures. Preliminary results indicated that the new code will be
approved after millions voted in favor of the referendum.

nation-state, but rather to achieve autonomy within a federal,
democratic Syria.
