Urruticoechea voted in opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the Chilean Congress in 2021. He explained his vote by saying that homosexual couples "claiming rights that nature denies them is going against every notion of natural order" and said that the bill to legalize same-sex marriage was "filled with fictions… which suppress the truth." He added that he was neither racist, discriminatory, nor homophobic.[3]
