My quick read seems to me that these are things that exist in most developed Western societies today: same sex marriage, equal sharing of domestic responsibilities, prenuptial agreements, assisted pregnancy. There's probably more to it - but probably the more significant news is these concepts are taking root in Cuba?

#3"About to adopt" sounds pretty far from accurate to my reading of the two sources? It sounds like this is still under substantial debate.

Lots of countries were doing very bad things 60 years ago. Lots of countries were doing very bad things yesterday. That shouldn't stop us from celebrating when one of those countries stops doing those bad things or makes progress to treat people more fairly.

#6To date no "most progressive family law in the world" has touched the legalization of polyamory; why so?
The only thing that comes to mind is that it would become too convenient a loophole to escape taxes.

So... they've gone from "gays go into camps" to "gays can have all the rights of family". That sounds like progress to be celebrated to me. It's sixty years later and things are getting better, hooray?
I mean, any discussion of shit getting better in the USA sure has a laundry list of atrocities you can dig up too.

There are only 31 countries in the world that respect marriage equality. The fact that Cuba is going to be 32, in front of half of continental Europe is a good thing for Cuba.

There are still parents in the USA who are currently sending their kids to gay conversion camps. I don't understand your point.

I think the OP is attempting to point out the abysmal record of gay rights in communist systems. Be it communism of the 60's, or modern communism like that practiced in China, gay's are second class citizens...tragically denied the rights enjoyed by heterosexuals.
