00:00June is a symbolic month because it's marked LGBTIQ Plus Pride Month.
00:05Beyond the parades and rainbow colors, this occasion commemorates the historic struggle for dignity, visibility and equal rights.
00:13It also highlights the ongoing challenges of the community.
00:20This month is worth examining how Latin America has advanced in the field of civil rights, including same-sex marriage.
00:28The process began in 2010 when Argentina became the first country in the region to legalize same-sex marriage through
00:37legislation during Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's administration.
00:43Uruguay followed in 2013 under José Mujica's presidency and Brazil followed through a judicial ruling during Dilma Rousseff's administration.
00:55Colombia recognized the same-sex marriage in 2016 under President Juan Manuel Santos.
01:03Ecuador followed in 2019 under President DonĂn Moreno.
01:10Costa Rica in 2020 under President Carlos Alvarado.
01:17Following a process supported by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, more recently, Chile approved same-sex marriage during
01:26Sebastián Piñera's administration.
01:29And Mexico completed its nationwide recognition process in 2022 under Andrés Manuel López Obrador's government.
01:37Meanwhile, Cuba incorporated same-sex marriage into its family court via a popular referendum promoted by Miguel DĂaz-Canel.
01:48Although same-sex marriage is still illegal in Venezuela, acting President Desi RodrĂguez recently broadened the need to develop a
01:56legal doctrine on diversity and the rights associated with sexual orientation and gender identity before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice
02:04of Venezuela.
02:05While this does not apply immediate legal changes, it has received discussions around long-standing demands such as recognizing same
02:16-sex civil unions and allowing legal name changes for transgender people.
