Colombia

Colombia recognized only unregistered cohabitition. Ron 1987 11:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the user above me is correct. Thanks for creating the map btw! :) VoodooIsland (talk) 03:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Bolivia

Hi, can you change Bolivia to dark red for "No recognition, all types of partnerships officially banned?" I just read the following about Bolivia's recently-approved constitution:

. . . the document defines marriage and civil unions as an act between a man and woman.Bolivia Constitution

Thanks! VoodooIsland (talk) 22:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 Done - thanks, Wikignome0529 (talk) 00:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Paraguay

Paraguay should be dark red on this map; constitution limits marriage to one man and one woman as well as other "marriage-like partnerships."[1] VoodooIsland (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Ecuador

Ecuador should be blue on the map. First civil union was performed in October 2009. See Recognition of same-sex unions in Ecuador. Ron 1987 (talk) 20:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

argentina

A judge leglized ssm in one city in argentina should we make a dot for it like DC in america has? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The truth maker (talk • contribs) 15:42, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Note on DC

DC in America has not legalized SSM yet - but they are recognised just like in the state of New York. Just because they are recognised, they CAN NOT be performed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk) 02:17, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I only meant that it should appear on the map as it's own dot because of the policy differenceThe truth maker (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

You're aware that DC isn't in South America, correct? —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:48, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

French Guiana

It seems to me that French Guiana should be marked as having full marriage because it is a full-fledged part of France (just as Hawaii is a full-fledged part of the United States, for example), and France has full same-sex marriage. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:50, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage is not legal in France. Ron 1987 13:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Um. Oh. You're right. Never mind. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

SSM/Argentina

Since 5 or more same-sex marriages have taken place in Argentina since November, although there is now law in place yet shouldnt Argentina be striped dark blue or something to show that it IS happening although not officially yet? (ie. courts are allowing this to happen) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.210.22 (talk) 06:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

The Argentinian Senate has approved the same sex marriage bill and Kirchner will sign it without a doubt. So, I don't think it would be too presumptive to color Argentina dark blue at this point. --Wbush89 (talk) 07:32, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I took the freedom to color Argentina. It's just as Wbush89 says. pmt7ar ^(talk) 08:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Two extremes, same color

The black of Guyana entirely banning homosexuality and the very deep navy blue of Argentina granting the right of SSM are hardly distinguishable. Considering the fact that they indicate two extremes, I consider this poor design. Can someone fix that by picking another color for Guyana? Steinbach (talk) 06:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I editted it as the reference, with navy blue (#000080), I see them clearly different. Certainly other similar maps have the blue scale to different tipes of recognition, and a red scale to the different penalties where its illegal; but this maps already uses the red scale for other meanings. I don't have clear the difference between the darkest red "No recognition" and the black "Illegal". pmt7ar ^(talk) 07:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I notices that my version was changed to a darker navy blue. What about brightening up the current red and brown, or introducing orange and let the stronges RED to describe "Illegal". I propose:

  Same-sex marriage

  Other type of partnership

  Unregistered cohabitation

  Unrecognized or unknown

  No recognition, issue under consideration

  No recognition, only same-sex marriage officially banned

  No recognition, all types of partnerships officially banned

  Foreign same-sex marriages recognized only

  Homosexuality illegal

pmt7ar ^(talk) 07:53, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

That would certainly be much better. Steinbach (talk) 10:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Peru

Peru should be yellow. Ron 1987 00:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC) [2] [3] Ron 1987 00:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. pmt7ar ^(talk) 03:27, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Merida, Venezuela

As this state of Venezuela actually has Civil unions, should the map be updated to indicate this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.142.73 (talk) 17:06, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Venezuela, again

Venezuela should be gray again, the law proposed in the Assembly doesnt include civil unions, it only condemns discrimination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.131.87.67 (talk) 06:31, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Bolivia wrong color

Shouldn't Bolivia be a lighter orange as it is only SSM that is banned in that country. Currently it is the same color as Paraguay which has both civil unions and SSM banned. Rctycoplay (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Brazil and same-sex marriage

After the 4th gay marriage took place in Brazil, the color should be changed to deep navy blue.Brazilian Constitution, since May, allows same-sex couples to have the civil union right, opening the way to ask the Supreme Court for the convertion into legal full marriage. See the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition_of_same-sex_unions_in_Brazil.Rafavargas (talk) 19:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

State of Alagoas in Brazil approves Gay Marriage

As of January 5, 2012, same-sex marriage in the state of Alagoas can be performed without judicial intervention.

Can someone help and change the colour of the state to Dark Blue? See the article on Same-sex marriage in Alagoas for detais Denisxavier (talk) 23:15, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage in Brazil

Many gay marriages were oficialized natiowide. So far, only civil unions were recognized. After the Supreme Court of Justice ruled in favour of a lesbian couple who had their conversion denied by two lower courts in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. As of May, 2012, many marriage licences were granted to same-sex couples, most of them, unreported. So I think the brazilian map should be shifted into a striped-like version. --Rafavargas (talk) 00:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Venezuela

Venezuela should be red. Constitution bans same-sex marriage. See article 77. Ron 1987 (talk) 08:22, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Brazil

Brazil needs to be updated like the other Brazil's on the world map, indicating some Brazilian states that have Gay Marriage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.25.101 (talk) 10:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Alagoas, Bahia, Piauí and São Paulo should be dark blue. See [4], [5], [6]. Ron 1987 (talk) 18:08, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Brazilian D.F

Please, I'd be glad if someone updates the status of the Brazilian D.F, from civil union blue to marriage dark blue, to be in line with the situation in the district. I've been giving all the sources I've found on the web and posted them all in previous discussions (mainly in the "Recognition of same-sex unions in Brazil" talk page).--Rafavargas (talk) 04:19, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Dark blue in Brazilian Federal District

The Distrito Federal in Brazil has same-sex marriage. Please, include this on map, is only pending this on Brazilian map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.16.224.13 (talk) 01:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Federal vs. State level?

Shouldn't the 'individual states' that have passed same-sex marriage or have legalized it through their courts, as in the case of Brazil, be colored a lighter shade of blue since the nation has yet to federally legalize it? You know what I mean? It's good that these states are acting more progressively than their federal government, but using the same shade of blue as for other nations makes it look less like they're part of Brazil and instead separate countries? Is there anyway to make it seem clearer that these states are part of Brazil and yet still allow them to stand out as having legalized same-sex marriage?

Dark Blue in the Brazilian States of Mato Grosso do Sul (Center-West) and Paraná (South)

We should wait. See Talk:Recognition of same-sex unions in Brazil#Santa Catarina and Paraíba. Ron 1987 (talk) 07:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Blue lake(?) in Venezuela

Could somebody fix the little blue lake in Venezuela? It should be clear or white. Abductive (reasoning) 03:41, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

The 'blue lake' in Venezuela is not a lake (confused me at first too), it's the state of Mérida which has Civil Unions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.87.168.156 (talk) 20:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes it is, it's absolutly legal with no doubt, it's a mandatory decision of the Supreme Court with penal consequences for those civil servants who could dare to challenge it. The map should be changed. (sorry for my english) --Ignaciojd3 (talk) 20:12, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Red countries

I think we sould get rid of the color red in this map, its misleading. There are some countries that have approved civil unions but also ban same-sex marriage in the constitution, so the color red cant be apply to all the other countries where it should. I proposed to get rid of it and just let them gray, or add something small oven the country's territory, like a little red star, that way we could include it too in the other countries. Also, could someone add Santa Catarina and Paraibo? --Freddy eduardo (talk) 16:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

If a country has some form of recognition (like civil unions) but also bans marriage, could simply have the country have both colors in alternating stripes, similar to the US State map where several states that have both recognition and ban have alternating diagonal stripes to indicate both aspects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.87.168.156 (talk) 20:19, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

That's exactly what we should try to avoid, alternating stropis makes the maps extremely confusing and difficult to understand. That's why I thought a little sign would do better. --Freddy eduardo (talk) 04:49, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Guyana's color after Brasil gets dark

Please, could anybody fix the Guyana's color - right now it's virtually undistinguishable from Brasil's one. This could suggest that the situation of the LGBT people in both countries is similar or identical - which is plainly wrong. 176.101.143.177 (talk) 20:52, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I suggest Yellow for Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage, and Red for Same-sex relationships ilegal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.29.227.180 (talk) 16:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I think it is high time to update this map to give Guyana a color that ordinary mortals can distinguish from Brazil's color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KenWC (talk • contribs) 01:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

I think that when you look at the enlarged version of the map, it is easy to distinguish between the dark blue and brown. No need for a change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.25.101 (talk) 20:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Venezuela again

Someone told above that same-sex marriage is prohibited by the Venezuelan Constitution, article 77, which says that "the State should protect the matrimony between a man and a woman". This is not totally true: according to this article [17], in 2008 the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that article 77 does not limit the possibility of legally recognizing same-sex couples, and that there isn't in it an express prohibition against such marriages. Based on this, Venezuela's color should be changed to grey. 177.194.29.182 (talk) 05:58, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
