Same-sex marriage has been legal in the Pitcairn Islands since 14 May 2015, although there are no openly same-sex couples living on the island.[1][2] An ordinance to legalise such marriages was unanimously approved by the territory's legislature, and signed by the Governor Jonathan Sinclair on 5 May. It was published on 13 May 2015.[3][4][5]
