Chile’s Bachelet Makes Good on Her Marriage Equality Promise with New Bill
Chile’s Bachelet Makes Good on Her Marriage Equality Promise with New Bill
President Michelle Bachelet of Chile plans to introduce a marriage equality bill in the national legislature this upcoming Monday, August 28. If approved as expected, the country will become the sixth in Latin America to permit same-sex marriages.
Bachelet will be making good on a promise last year to commit her government to the passage of marriage equality by mid-2017, made while speaking to an LGBT rights panel at the United Nations in September 2016.
Human Rights Watch reports the language of the bill will be as follows:
“Marriage is a solemn contract by which two people, of the same or different sex, unite themselves, and for life, in order to live together, to procreate and to help each other.”
This would seem to pave the way for same-sex couples to also parent children. Civil unions were legalized in Chile relatively recently in 2015, providing momentum for full-fledged recognition.
Argentina was the first country of its region to legalize marriage equality in 2010, followed by Uruguay, Brazil, and Colombia. Mexico federally recognizes same-sex marriages performed in many of its states. Globally, Chile would be set to become the 25th country to legalize marriage equality.

Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia, an autonomous community in northeastern Spain, and the country’s second most populous municipality, with a population of 1.6 million within city limits. Its urban area extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 4.7 million people in 2017 (being the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, Madrid, the Ruhr area and Milan). It is the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea.
Barcelona is one of the world’s leading tourist, economic, trade fair and cultural centers, and its influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world’s major global cities.

HURRICANE HARVEY. Storm will make landfall as very dangerous storm: “The National Hurricane Center warned Harvey was “dangerously approaching” the Texas coast early Friday, picking up more power and packing maximum sustained winds of 110 mph — close to the Category 3 threshold, according to the National Hurricane Center. The agency added that ‘life-threatening and devastating flooding’ was expected and that “Harvey is expected to become a major hurricane before it reaches” the Texas coast.”
LEXINGTON. White supremacists may hold flash rally: “Matthew Heimbach, chairman of a white nationalist group called the Traditionalist Worker Party, told the Herald-Leader last week that his group and others were planning a rally in Lexington to oppose the removal of statues in downtown Lexington. When asked this week whether he had picked a date for the event, though, Heimbach said it probably will be a ‘flash demo.’”
RIP. The old Taylor Swift.
LUXURY TOILETS. Secret Service paid $7100 to have them at Trump’s golf club. “The agency signed a contract with Imperial Restrooms to provide trailers on Aug. 3. That contract was updated a week later, bringing the total spent on the restrooms to $7,100 from Aug. 3 to Aug. 21.”
GO ASK ALICE. If you’re in Provincetown this weekend, the Crown is welcoming the one and only Linda Lavin.
A NASTY BOY. Nigerian magazine seeks to dismantle gender stereotypes. “I hope that A Nasty Boy is able to impact real change,” he continued. “Maybe it won’t be in policy, but perhaps in people. We want to be able to change the way our readers view the world and the way they relate to others. I just hope Nigeria gets better in its acceptance of otherness and that the people here are able to transcend to tolerance and truly accept those who are different.”
CHARLES DONOVAN. The dangerous ‘gay men are misogynists’ movement: ” It’s been exhumed, dusted down and reanimated. And this time, to my surprise, the left-wing media are joining in with unabashed relish. Have you guessed yet? Yes, it’s the ‘creepy, woman-hating homosexual’.”
