Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Niue face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. Male same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Niue, although there is no recent instance of it being actively prosecuted.[citation needed] Same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex married couples.
