In a country where gays are too often discriminated against, it was beautiful to see thousands of people march in favor of same sex marriage laws on June 25th in Santiago’s central square. It was wonderful to see so many people allowed to express their sexuality openly, in an environment free from judgment and violence. I can only hope that the unprecedented turnout will have a positive impact on the movement, even if it’s a slow process. If Argentina and Mexico city (and NY!) have legalized gay marriage, then there is no reason why Santiago shouldn't follow in their footsteps.
