Civil unions between people of the same sex will soon be recognized in Chile.
This according to CNN.
The country joined several of its South American neighbors in allowing the unions when President Michelle Bachelet enacted a new law on Monday.
"This is a concrete step in the drive to end the difference between homosexual and heterosexual couples," Bachelet said.
The new law will take effect in six months. It will give legal weight to cohabiting relationships between two people of the same sex and between a man and a woman.
