Ecuador to recognize same-sex civil unions

Ecuador will soon recognize same-sex civil unions, President Rafael Correa announced Saturday. 

Same-sex couples living in the country, who are barred from marrying or adopting children, will have "the full constitutional right" to register civil unions and have them reported on government-issued documents, said Correa, who met with representatives from Ecuador's LGBT community last week.
