Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo; matrimonio homosexual; matrimonio igualitario: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "matrimonio homosexual" es una expresión más precisa que "matrimonio igualitario" para referirse a los enlaces entre personas del mismo sexo. [...] De hecho, la expresión "matrimonio igualitario" también puede aludir —y, de hecho, así se ha venido usando— a un matrimonio entre personas de distinta clase social o a aquel en el que los dos cónyuges gozan de los mismos derechos. Por tanto, con el fin de evitar ambigüedades, en las frases anteriores habría sido más preciso optar por "matrimonio homosexual" o "matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo". 2, record 1, Spanish, - matrimonio%20homosexual
