A London tribunal on Monday upheld the ban on same-sex marriages in Bermuda as constitutional, in a major setback for LGBT+ rights in the British overseas territory.

London's Privy Council, the highest court of appeal for British overseas territories, sided with the Bermuda government by ruling that the constitution does not require the state to recognise same-sex marriages.
