Speaking of intention to legalize countries, wasn't the Nepalese Court order to do so dismissed? Does the government have power to do this, as the Vietnam unregistered cohabitation that seems to have been shelved, after all, or is it just endless staying like in the Taiwan's upcoming bill and much of the American legal issues dismissing anti-marriage equality state laws?

Alaska = stay denied by SCOTUS, Governor will appeal (am I right?) = SSM legal until the appeal is made?

As @ Prcc27: and @ Ad Orientem: point out, the Chile discussion above has highlighted a problem. There is some confusion as to which colour a country should be if it intends to legalise same-sex civil unions: since the map is about marriages, all such countries should technically be coloured grey, for "same-sex unions not recognised", until such time as the bill becomes an act and acquires legal force.
It would be best to create a new colour for countries that intend to legalise same-sex unions (as opposed to same-sex marriages). Could someone arrange this? I don't know how to go about organising/fixing it.

Should the rest of Mexico (ie: the parts not already covered in blue) be changed to the yellow "Govt/court announced intention to legalise SSM" on the basis of this ruling? Seems very similar to the Brazil 2013 case. Mexico Supreme Court Opens Door to Gay Marriage Nationwide
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's supreme court has ruled it is unconstitutional for Mexican states to bar same-sex marriages.
But the court's ruling is considered a "jurisprudential thesis" and does not invalidate any state laws, meaning gay couples denied the right to wed would have to turn to the courts individually. Given the ruling, judges and courts would have to approve same-sex marriages.
The high court ruled that any state law which considers the ultimate purpose of marriage to be "procreation, and or defines (marriage) as celebrated between a man and a woman, is unconstitutional."
Gay marriage is legal in some parts of Mexico, including Mexico City and the northern state of Coahuila.

Should the rest of Mexico (ie: the parts not already covered in blue) be changed to the yellow "Govt/court announced intention to legalise SSM" on the basis of this ruling? Seems very similar to the Brazil 2013 case. Mexico Supreme Court Opens Door to Gay Marriage Nationwide
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's supreme court has ruled it is unconstitutional for Mexican states to bar same-sex marriages.
But the court's ruling is considered a "jurisprudential thesis" and does not invalidate any state laws, meaning gay couples denied the right to wed would have to turn to the courts individually. Given the ruling, judges and courts would have to approve same-sex marriages.
The high court ruled that any state law which considers the ultimate purpose of marriage to be "procreation, and or defines (marriage) as celebrated between a man and a woman, is unconstitutional."
Gay marriage is legal in some parts of Mexico, including Mexico City and the northern state of Coahuila.

The ruling was delivered June 3, but didn't become known until this week.

Agree with Kansas being in "transition colour" but that will need to change to full blue soon as this article would indicate it will soon be only a matter of time before the state agencies recognise SSM in the state. Already each and every county in the state is performing or willing to perform same-sex marriages/provide licenses to same-sex couples - see the article for detail.

The same-sex marriage article for Israel says "The ruling specifies that a record made by the Administration of Border Crossings, Population and Immigration is a statistical record which does not constitute official recognition of same-sex marriage by the state." So unless someone can provide a source that same-sex marriages are recognized in Israel, it should be reduced from solid green to a green ring. Prcc27 ( talk) 07:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

I believe the name of this file should be changed to retain Wikipedia's neutrality on the issue. "Marriage equality" is a term used by proponents of same sex marriage. The neutral term is "Same-sex marriage", and as such Wikipedia should not be seen to advocate for a side in any way.

Additionally, I am somewhat new to Wikipedia. If I download the picture, change the color manually, and then replace this image with my modified version, is that the correct process? I would be happy to change future maps myself, but I wanted to ensure I did it correctly before messing up an image. Thanks! Michelangelo1992 ( talk) 18:27, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Rescinding my objection to green for Israel -- appears to have meaning on the ground, not just 'for statistical purposes' (probably more meaning than in Armenia). And yesterday's binding EUJC ruling, which is at least comparable to the IACHR ruling and IMO should be colored similarly, esp. since many of the states affected will probably drag their feet. — kwami ( talk) 01:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
