Reacting to the passage of the Law on Marriage Equality in Chile, PGA Board member Dip. Tucapel Jimenez said
Today, we approved and submitted the Marriage Equality bill. It is a historic day for Chile and it is of complete justice that the State advances in the full recognition of the different forms of family. We must end, once and for all, all kinds of discrimination and always remember that love should not be affected by any ideology, love is love, and it is the duty of all of us to uphold this right. Dip. Tucapel Jimenez MP

Chile joins Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Uruguay in providing access to marriage for same-sex couples.
The country’s new law undoes existing legal discrimination against same-sex couples in parentage, joint adoption, and assisted reproductive technology, among others. It also scraps the requirement that married transgender people divorce if they want to have their gender legally recognized.
