"LIMA, July 21 (Reuters) - A Peruvian high court has ordered same-sex unions to
be legally registered in public records, marking a victory for the LGBTQ
community in a country that has been reluctant to recognize gay couples.

The ruling, published on Friday, followed a case brought by a gay Peruvian
citizen who sued the registration office for refusing to record her 2019
marriage overseas, saying her constitutional rights were violated.

Representatives of the office were not immediately available for comment.

Peru is one of the few countries in Latin America that has not recognized
same-sex marriage, though it is not illegal to be gay."
