It might surprise you but I want both. I want civil rights and I want a strong and partecipated democratic process. The democratic process will always win tho. Any right that is "imposed" rather than conquered will not last.

> that goes against the democratic majority in the US and Cuba

Maybe in the progressive US, not in Cuba, where 54% of the voters are in support of the proposal. The contrarians are not the communist by the way, but the Cuban catholics.

54% of Cuba is in support of polyamorous marriage? Citation please.

Did you just spend lots of time debating me without even taking the 10 minutes necessary to read the article?

Wow. This tells a lot about the quality of this discussion.

Read the reuters article that was linked. It's all in there.

I'm done debating with you, this is just a waste of time.

I read both articles but I went back to re-read them, as I'm willing to be proven wrong. Neither mention anything about polyamorous marriage, and definitely nothing about 54% support for it. They mention traditional (2-person) same-sex and cis marriages.
