During our last visit to the Municipality of La Pintana on 28 March 2022, we coincided it with a lunch for the celebration of the marriage of the first LGBTQ couple in the community, and with much joy we met their tender and beautiful baby.
La Pintana is one of the numerous municipalities that comprise the Santiago Metropolitan Region. Since one of the women from the couple who was married at the La Pintana Civil Registry was Taiwanese, an official representative of the Republic of China (Taiwan) attended the event.

Disney president who is the 'mother of a transgender and a pansexual child' says she wants at least half of ALL future characters to be LGBTQIA or racial minorities – Theme parks are now banned from saying 'hello boys and girls'
A Disney executive in charge of content vowed to up the ante on gender politics during an all-hands meeting, promising that at least half of the characters in its productions will be LGBTQIA or from racial minorities by the end of the year. General entertainment president Karey Burke said during a company-wide Zoom call that Disney must do more to be more inclusive, as she vowed that 50 per cent of characters and content would be from underrepresented groups. Meanwhile, Disney's diversity and inclusion chief Vivain said that they no longer address theme park visitors as 'ladies and gentleman, boys and girls' but instead as 'dreamers' and 'friends'. Burke choked up during Monday, saying the issue hit close to home because of her children. 'I'm here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,' she said.
