The bill will also enable married same-sex couples to adopt children. Chile, which legalized same-sex civil unions in 2015, has been awaiting this bill since 2017, when it was sent to congress by socialist then-president Michelle Bachelet.

Santiago. El Congreso de Chile decidirá finalmente la próxima semana sobre un proyecto de legalización del matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo, luego de que se postergara la votación prevista este martes en el Senado sobre este texto, muy esperado por la comunidad homosexual.

Antes de la crucial votación de los 43 senadores chilenos, para la cual organizaciones de la comunidad LGBTIQ+ se habían preparado para celebrar, el proyecto fue revisado por la Comisión de Constitución de la Cámara Alta, que ante divergencias lo envió a una comisión mixta de senadores y diputados.
