ISIS territory needs to be changed
The territory in Iraq and Syria held by ISIS needs to be changed in shape, near Kobani (northern Syria), Sinjar (northern Iraq), Muqdadyiah (eastern Iraq), and Derna, Libya; according to

Nebraska pre-mature
The decision is highly expected to be stayed, so I don't think that Nebraska should be in the marriage equality column until March 9th, when the law goes into effect [assuming no stay is granted]. (Tigerghost (talk) 14:19, 4 March 2015 (UTC))

Derna
The city of Derna in Libya needs to be re-added. It was taken away in the edit war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:0:B200:F7D9:F481:6D7A:7D15:FA61 (talk) 00:45, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

A few problems?
I see two weird things on this map.

1) Why is Lake Ladoga in Russia coloured light orange?

2) I think that instead of Cyprus, the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri is coloured blue. It should be otherwise.

Can somebody change it? 182.158.158.237 (talk) 05:19, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Indonesia
Hi. I'm wondering if Indonesia's action to crack down on gay-related apps & websites qualifies as being legal but restricting freedom of expression/association. Granted I don't like adding countries to the map on the beige-red side of things as it could potentially stigmatize people from the country/culture in question. Does this qualify?

Antarctica
Shouldn't we shade in all the Antartican territories of countries where same-sex marriage is legal..? We should at least shade in the British one since it was officially legalized there. Prcc27🌍 (talk) 15:53, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

A same-sex marriage was recognized in Russia so their should be a green ring placed where Moscow is. Prcc27 (talk) 18:28, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Taiwan
Shouldn't Taiwan be colored dark blue because the Supreme Court set same-sex marriage to be legal in the near future? Austria and Costa Rica are in similar situations and they're colored dark blue, so it seems inconsistent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuerwissenschaft (talk • contribs) 12:27, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm removing this from the article I'm looking at until there's a colour code. It should be here, and it needs to be in the caption in the article. Tony (talk)  11:08, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Vietnam
Vietnam is colored light blue on the map, implying that it recognizes unregistered cohabitation. However, Vietnam does not have specific unregistered cohabitation laws. I can provide you with a list of reliable sources.

Kwamikagami claims that: "In Vietnam, you have to register where you live, so that is quite literally registered cohabitation." (Please, provide sources)

Kwamikagami has no actual sources, just empty words. All content must be verifiable. In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Anyone can leave a note on the talk page asking for a source. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.

The accuracy of a statement may be a cause for concern if:

It contains unlikely information, without providing suitable references;

It has been written (or edited) by a user who is known to write inaccurately on the topic;

Kwamikagami's claim about "registered cohabitations" in Vietnam is somewhat misleading. A list of reliable sources are presented below:

The first source states that:

"While the ruling, which came into effect on New Year’s Day, allows same-sex couples to wed without fear of criminal prosecution, Vietnam’s Communist Party stopped short of extending ANY rights or privileges to same-sex couples — the government won’t recognize same-sex unions nor provide legal protection to them."

Source: https://www.metroweekly.com/2015/01/vietnam-removes-same-sex-marriage-ban/

The second source states that:

"The law no longer specifically prohibits same-sex marriages, but says they aren't recognized by the government. It does not allow same-sex partnership either, although the issue has been open for discussion during many house meetings."

Source: http://thanhniennews.com/politics/vietnam-allows-surrogacy-within-families-denies-samesex-marriage-27502.html

The final source states that:

"There is a major flaw in the law. According to Clause 2, Article 8 of the new law, although it allows same-sex weddings, such couples are neither recognized nor protected under the law. Although Vietnam abolished its ban on same-sex marriage, the law has a very limited effect in practice. If not recognized by the state, such marriages will not be protected by law for matters such as personal and property rights."

Source: https://thediplomat.com/2020/02/the-fight-for-lgbt-rights-in-vietnam-still-has-a-long-way-to-go/

The claim that Vietnam recognizes same-sex unions is MISSING CONTEXT, because without additional information it could be misleading. It is true that Vietnam abolished its ban on same-sex marriage and allowed symbolic same-sex weddings. However, same-sex couples are neither recognized nor protected under the law.

Every credible news source say that Vietnam doesn’t recognize same-sex unions. Therefore it should be changed to gray. Please, update the map. Provide sources of the opposite if you disagree. Cyanmax (talk) 11:02, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
