VOICED : Policia gay chileno se unira con su pareja bajo nueva norma

Hugo Alcalde, a Chilean military officer, publicly announced his desire to enter a civil union with his same-sex partner, marking a significant step in LGBTQ+ rights in Chile. This comes five months after the legal framework allowing such unions was established. Alcalde emphasizes that his sexual orientation does not affect his professional duties and hopes to inspire others in similar situations. The legal change is a milestone in a country where the Catholic Church holds significant influence, and divorce was only legalized in 2004. The move aims to pave the way for further equality, including same-sex marriage.
