The Australian Senate has approved a bill that would extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.
Lawmakers approved the measure by a 43-12 vote margin. The Australian House of Representatives will now consider the bill.
The vote took place less than a month after the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced the majority of voters who took part in a non-binding plebiscite on whether same-sex couples should be able to legally marry in the country said “yes.” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has urged lawmakers to pass the marriage bill by Christmas.
