[(Title)] Cuban president backs legalizing same-sex marriage.

Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said he supports a constitutional change to legalize same-sex marriage.

古巴总统米格尔·迪亚斯·卡内尔说，他支持通过宪法改革使同性婚姻合法化。

The Cuban leader made the remarks to Venezuela-based Telesur Sunday. "The approach of recognizing marriage between two people, without limitations, responds to a problem of eliminating all types of discrimination in society," he said.

古巴领导人周日向委内瑞拉的Telesur发表了讲话。他说：“承认两个人结婚的方式没有局限性，这是消除社会中一切形式的歧视的问题。”

"Let's not give way to any kind of discrimination in society."

"我们任何形式的歧视在社会中都没有生存的空间"。

Cuba's constitution, ratified in 1976, identifies marriage as "a voluntary union between a man and a woman."

1976年批准的古巴宪法将婚姻确定为"男女自愿结合"。

Cuban Parliament has approved a change to define marriage as a union between "two people."

古巴议会批准了将婚姻定义为"两个人"之间的结合。

The new constitution will be put up for a vote next year in a national referendum.

新宪法将于明年在全国公投中进行表决。

"We've been going through a massive thought evolution and many taboos have been broken," Díaz-Canel said, perhaps referring to Mariela Castro, the daughter of former President Raul Castro.

迪亚斯·卡内尔说：“我们一直在经历大规模的思想演变，许多禁忌已经被打破。”

Mariela Castro is a leader of LGBT rights in Cuba and chief of the Cuban National Center for Sex Education. She is a vocal defender of LGBT rights and is believed to be a major influence on government policy.

古巴前总统卡斯特罗的女儿马丽拉·卡斯特罗是古巴LGBT（同性恋、双性恋和变性者）权利运动领袖，也是古巴国家性教育中心的主任。她是LGBT权利的有力捍卫者，被认为对推动政府政策有重大影响。
