UNITED NATIONS -- The Trump administration reversed visa policy this week for same-sex partners of United Nations staff, saying they must marry their partners by the end of the year or leave the U.S. within 30 days of the December 31 deadline.

In a memo sent to the U.N. Secretariat and obtained by CBS News, the U.S. Mission to the U.N. said that all new applicants who wish to bring a same-sex partner to the U.S. must be married to that partner, despite the fact that the vast majority of U.N. member states do not legalize same-sex marriage.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power called the policy "needlessly cruel & bigoted." She said only 12 percent of UN member states allow same-sex marriages.
