A conservative religious organization in Chile is launching a campaign to stop the country's senate from advancing a bill that would ban discrimination against LGBT people. Muevete Chile, a Catholic group, warned in a statement last week that the anti-discrimination act would lead to marriage equality for same-sex couples.

The group also called on voters to express their opposition to the measure.

"This measure has not been promoted by voters, but by the gay-lesbian-transsexual-bisexual lobby, which has been pressuring senators for three years," Muevete Chile wrote to senators. They added, "Civil laws have an important and sometimes determining role in the promotion of a mentality and of customs, which affect society for good or for evil depending on their content."
