Santiago. El Congreso de Chile aprobó este martes la ley de matrimonio igualitario, que incluye la adopción de menores, tras un último trámite en la Cámara de Diputados, dando un nuevo paso contra la discriminación y sellando una larga lucha liderada por organizaciones de los derechos homosexuales.

Luego de su aprobación más temprano en el Senado, la Cámara de Diputados resolvió votar inmediatamente el proyecto que equipara derechos y obligaciones independientemente del sexo de las personas que conformen el matrimonio, adoptando la iniciativa por 82 votos a favor, 20 en contra y dos abstenciones.
