The Chilean Senate has approved same-sex marriage.

In a 22 to 16 vote, with one abstention, the bill passed the Senate and is now headed to the Constitutional Committee.

The same-sex marriage bill was originally introduced in 2017 under the administration of President Michelle Bachelet.

Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay already allow same-sex marriage.
