[edit] India
I guess some people want to state their opinion even though they have no knowledge over the issue. The Constitution of India applies to the whole of India, and not just a particular state or union territory. The Delhi High Court has given a ruling to amend Indian Penal Code following which homosexuality would be legalized all over India. Therefore, to say that the ruling applies only to Delhi is just ridiculous. There is reason why it is called "Indian" Penal Code and not "Delhi" Penal Code. --Deepak (talk) 00:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with opinions, only attempts to interpret a confusing situation (when even news media reports are not clear or conflicting). Both maps (India all grey, and only Delhi grey) exist in the file uploads history for use if needed. Current main discussion over what India's status on English Wikipedia is located @ en:Talk:Homosexuality in India. Wikignome0529 (talk) 05:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Subdivisions?
I really don't see the need to add the subdivisions in the map, when you can make separate maps for them. In fact, the European Union already has a separate image that is currently in use. Also, the Nigeria's subdivisions are not accurate at all. It only colors the northern part, making the north look like one huge state. Please excuse my wording, but can someone explain to me why it is that important? Wouldn't it be easier to make them a separate category? Something like "these states have varying opinions" or something of that nature. — NuclearVacuum 23:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- If you look at w:Status of same-sex marriage, you can see separate maps of every continent. As for Nigeria, the northern part is governed by Sharia law, and is consequently harsher on homosexuals than the southern part. --Haha169 (talk) 03:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- One reason for including subdivisions is that coloring the United States with one uniform color would be rather misleading as to what the facts are, and so would not be too useful... AnonMoos (talk) 20:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Antarctica
The map has no information on Russia, but states there is no recognition for gay couples in Antarctica? I'm interested to see the citation for this polar prejudice - there have been documented examples of gay penguins after all. -mattbuck (Talk) 02:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Argentina
The gay unions in Argentina are locals only in their provinces Río Negro, Buenos Aires and two cities more. I changed the map, if there's not another legal source, please shouldn't revert. [1], [2], [3]. I will do the same with Brazil, it's not in all the country. --Keepscases (talk) 12:09, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
