Cuban Pedro Rafael Delgado, a 56-year-old accountant, saw his life change dramatically just days after Cuba approved a set of laws by referendum in September that allow gay marriage.

He lacked basic rights and felt shunned even by his own family because of his sexual preference. “Being gay was the embarrassment of the family and I always lived with that,” he told Reuters.
