Chile's Parliament Approves Civil Unions
On Wednesday, the National Congress of Chile (Chile's Parliament) gave final approval to the Civil Union Agreement bill. PanAm Post reports that if, as expected, Chilean President Michelle Bachele signs the bill, this will make Chile the seventh South American country to recognize civil unions. The bill, which applies to both same-sex and opposite-sex civil unions, provides for inheritance, pension and health plan rights.
