UAE

Per WP-en, death at federal level in UAE, even if not enforced. But some of the sources say it's not clear if this is for sodomy or for rape. I'm changing the UAE from yellow to brown, should probably at least be orange. Anyone know? Kwamikagami (talk) 05:00, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Guinea, Uganda, Algeria

The yellow and orange striped countries should be orange because people are being put in detention for homosexual acts. 184.60.28.96 18:05, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

That was my question above. But don't you think there is a significant difference between police custody and official sentencing? And what do we do with countries like Chechnya, where SS is legal but people are still placed in detention (or worse) for it? Kwamikagami (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Algeria should be orange, not yellow. Algerian police arrest people for homosexuality, even if no prosecution is given. 184.60.28.96 18:06, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

I see from the sources above that Algeria should be treated the same as Guinea and Uganda. Whether striped or orange would depend on how we treat them. I'll change to striped for now. Kwamikagami (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Falta pintar a Bolivia

Falta pintar a Bolivia de color azul claro, para indicar que la Unión Civil ya es legal. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.12.249.193 (talk) 03:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Okay. Changed to blue. Also UAE to orange per above. Changed Burundi back to yellow, as not mentioned in edit summary, no response from editor. Striped India per other maps. Kwamikagami (talk) 10:02, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Iraq, Syria, Malawi

Per the ILGA report,[1] Iraq has arrests and is de facto illegal like Egypt, which is orange. Syria, Malawi also has arrests. Colored those (and recolored Burundi) per argument above. Kwamikagami (talk) 11:10, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Mexico

Could someone change the state of Tlaxcala to dark blue? They legalized same-sex marriage in December 2020. Kaleetan (talk) 15:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Bangladesh

Is this event that took place in 2017 in Bangladesh enough to change it to orange? https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/bangladesh-arrests-29-from-lgbt-meet/1054965 Kaleetan (talk) 20:34, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hm. They weren't arrested for being gay. But they would have been, if the police had found evidence. (At least they didn't lie about it, as the police would do in some countries, and thus showed respect for the rule of law.) So the yellow color is IMO no longer appropriate, since there was a clear intent to execute the law. But it doesn't quite meet our criteria for orange either. This is the kind of thing I had the striping for, but since that's gone, IMO orange is more accurate than yellow. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
I made the change but then reverted myself because this is from over 3 yrs ago, the cut-off we cite in the info-box for 'recent'. Still seems to be an intermediate case to me, though. Happy to reconsider. (Tlaxcala got caught up in the revert, but you can hardly tell.) Kwamikagami (talk) 01:07, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Japan

Kwamikagami Explain please. I can't find any change in the law in Japan. Kaleetan (talk) 13:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

No change in law. It was a supreme-court ruling that under existing law (or the constitution?), SS couples have the same rights of domestic partnership as OS couples.[2] In this case, a ruling granting alimony that was appealed to the SC. If you can sue for alimony, you have at least some of the rights accorded to marriage. I just don't know if it should be light or medium blue: we had DP's as med blue, but there are different levels of DP. Kwamikagami (talk) 18:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
I thought the court case only determined that it was unconstitutional for Japan not to recognize SSM, but the legislature still has to pass a law for anything to change. Kaleetan (talk) 20:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Hungary

{{Edit request}}

Hello there! I'm from Hungary and the National Parliament recently passed a law, that limits the freedom (and speech) of LGBTQ communities, so Hungary should receive the light brown color that reflects "Restrictions of expression". — Preceding unsigned comment added by StSeffer2556 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Has it been signed into law by Orban yet? Kaleetan (talk) 15:32, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

@Kaleetan: It’s not the head of government Viktor Orbán’s duty to sign bills into law, but the head of state’s (currently János Áder). Anyways, the date that really counts is when it’s published in the Magyar Közlöny, which happened on 23 June. According to § 24, it went into force 15 days after that date, i.e. on 8 July (except for a certain part, which will go into force on 1 February 2022). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Afghanistan II

Should we change Afghanistan to dark red because the Taliban are in charge again? Or are they not executing people for homosexuality this time? Kaleetan (talk) 18:09, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Changed to dark red until contrary evidence is provided. Kaleetan (talk) 01:01, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, dark red/brown is probably best. I'm not sure we can distinguish between vigilantes and the government. The legal penalty is death (AFAIK), and if people are being killed by vigilantes but the govt is composed of vigilantes, then there's no effective difference between extrajudicial killings and legal executions. Unlike e.g. Chechnya where it's not legally a capital crime and the killings are extrajudicial. (Though that's a bit iffy too, since Russia is not ruled by law.) Kwamikagami (talk) 04:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

@Kaleetan: Been a claim that there is no such law, and only a case of one person reporting his boyfriend was killed extrajudicially. That would hardly count -- lots of that kinda stuff going on in other countries. Do we have any sources one way or the other?

I changed back to orange, pending evidence of a law. Also not clear there are regular extrajudicial killings (the Taliban aren't monolithic) or if the govt is following a "higher law"; rather like WP:BIO, we should have evidence of wrong-doing before we make the claim. Kwamikagami (talk) 10:57, 10 December 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) 14:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

This complaint is a duplicated from the marriage map. He didn't get satisfaction there, so he's starting it over again here. We can discuss it there. Kwamikagami (talk) 03:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Now you see, I was right! I won! Cyanmax (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Uh, sure, you "won". That's what this is about, not providing good info. You could've "won" a long time ago if you'd participated in good faith rather than trying to "win". Kwamikagami (talk) 09:39, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Bolivia

Because they stripped Bolivia of the civil union, if since a couple was recognized through free union under the constitutional court of the State it has been recognized and that also opens the doors for the rest of the couples to civil unions. For you to check here are the sources.

But just that one couple was recognized as a one-off, right? Never applied to anyone else? So maybe a blue ring for a single case, but so far we've only done that for marriages. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:16, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

World map broken

I have noticed that the borders of the world map are off again, and Iran is slightly stretched. I think that after so many edits via Inkscape and Illustrator, the map should be recreated from BlankMap-World.svg and Blank Map World Secondary Political Divisions.svg, and then made in a way so that the map can be edited by text editor. Sorry that I cannot do it, because I am busy right now.

Added Chile to the adoption maps as well. Kwamikagami (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Afghanistan & Lebanon

I downgraded these two countries, but should be discussed. One possibility recommended for Afghanistan is orange + brown stripes like Somalia. Honor killings for LGBT legal, but that's not enforced by the state, and some extrajudicial killings recently, but maybe for more than just being LGBT? Might take a while for the situation to clarify.

And Lebanon's still confusing. Should it be orange because of the fines a few years ago, or yellow cuz the military court said the law was unenforceable because "unnatural" was undefined? Is the latter a precedent, or just one court's opinion? Kwamikagami (talk) 21:58, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

The Taliban's stance on LGBT people is clear. There can be no ambiguity in that regard.

Sources:

1. The Taliban has a hit list for the Afghan LGBT community - france24.com

2. Afghanistan's LGBTQ community say they're being hunted down after Taliban takeover - CNN.com

3. The Taliban will have no mercy: LGBTQ+ Afghans go into hiding - theguardian.com

Dustssics (talk) 09:35, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

No links, so I'm not changing anything. If you have some good refs you can link to, that would be nice. Also, what is the "hit list"? Beatings, imprisonment, executions? Are these extrajudicial or through the Taleban courts? Not trying to be difficult, just want to be sure we can justify any changes we make. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:46, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
@Kwamikagami: Afghanistan has the death penalty on the books, if there have been no executions since Taliban takeover then #cc6633 is appropriate. However, I believe the Taliban has been executing people for homosexuality, so I'd use #880000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaleetan (talk • contribs) 20:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
That's really why we have the stripes: we suspect there've been executions, but we can't prove it. If we ever find a RS of executions (not counting extra-judicial executions during the reconquest, but now that what passes for the rule of law has been established), then yes, I agree Afgh should be solid brown. Kwamikagami (talk) 02:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

North Korea

Any idea how to handle this? Leaving it grey doesn't seem quite right. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:27, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

We could use a question mark. Dustssics (talk) 09:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I agree, a question mark the color of Russia on North Korea is probably the best option. Kaleetan (talk) 20:45, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Okay, added. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

What does the circles mean?

Could you explain me what does the blue circles mean? GogoLion (talk) 04:08, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

It means that a same sex marriage or civil union was recognized in the country, but it is generally seen as an exception to the law. Kaleetan (talk) 21:30, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Gaza

Gaza (which currently is colored orange) should be red, since it is enforced, ost recently in 2016. See: wikipedia:Capital punishment in the Gaza Strip.Eccekevin (talk) 03:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Colored it dk brown.
@Eccekevin: What about the West Bank? It's currently striped tan for propaganda laws. Is death-not-enforced appropriate? 06:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC) Kwamikagami (talk) 06:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC) Kwamikagami (talk) 08:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
@Kwamikagami: West Bank and Gaza have different laws. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2604:2D80:D296:700:55F8:EF98:B05:5664 (talk) 23:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
I know. My question was what the situation is. Is tan appropriate? Kwamikagami (talk) 09:19, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
@Kwamikagami: No it should be counted as extrajudicial killings for Gaza Strip, just like Afghanistan and Chechnya. Hamas is a terrorist group listed by the EU and U.S State Department Govt. The group is also the de facto controller of Gaza if you're asking for recognition wise. Homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment in most cases following the old British Penal code See:wikipedia:LGBT rights in the State of Palestine https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/palestinians/2018-02-21/ty-article-magazine/.premium/what-its-like-to-be-a-gay-man-in-gaza/0000017f-f90a-d887-a7ff-f9ee85fd000. Gaza doesn't have a death penalty for homosexuality according to the ILGA, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. But Hamas is widely considered as a terrorist organization and has its own de facto policies for its own members of the group. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 03:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
@Eustatius Strijder: It's too small to stripe, unless we stripe all of Palestine, and Hamas is the government of Gaza. But do we want to indicate policies toward their own membership that apparently doesn't apply to the civilian population? Kwamikagami (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Okay, managed to strip it. Still not sure we should have the red since this isn't happening to civilians. Kwamikagami (talk) 23:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
@Kwamikagami: I think we should have either orange (10 year imprisonment under Hamas) or maybe orange/red stripe for the extrajudicial execution. Kaleetan (talk) 17:16, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
okay. back to orange. Kwamikagami (talk) 18:31, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

@Kaleetan: also, what would you do w Afghanistan? No links in the thread above, and I'm not finding any reports of executions in the news (of other groups, yes, but not of LGBT, just threats). Kwamikagami (talk) 06:51, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Civil union in Bolivia

Good morning, if you can paint the map of Bolivia in the blue color of civil union, because so far there are 4 couples registered with the SERECI, I know others who have already decided to legalize their union ending between the last months of 2022 or 2023 such as the so-called Incas of great power. The case of the lesbians, possibly foreigners where the SERECI had denied their unions, is now resolved and thanks to the help of a ruling that they were supported by the same people who helped the first couple to register, such as Mr. Guido Montaño and Dr. in law Guido Montaño. Well, little by little, same-sex couples in Bolivia are already registering their free union called free union. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 45.163.19.98 (talk) 14:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Russia and Ukraine

Should we stripe Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts in Ukraine with #decd87 given that Russia now claims these territories? Are Russian laws about LGBT propaganda being applied there? Kaleetan (talk) 20:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

I don't know how much Russia is in control as anything other than a military occupation. I doubt there's much in the way of laws at all. But striping wouldn't be appropriate; we'd want solid colors for the occupied territories. Not sure it's worth the effort, though. Kwamikagami (talk) 04:54, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Bolivia (again)

I still don't understand why y'all put azure blue to Bolivia. The constitutuon doesn't really legalize it, just some cases. I think we should put "question mark with colored azure blue". -GogoLion (talk) 20:41, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Ukraine

Russia recently annexed four provinces on mainland Ukraine. Are we going with what is de facto enforced or what is de jure according to international law? Because if it's the former then those four provinces should be coloured beige and if it's the latter, then Crimea should be grey.

Part of three of those provinces. But the situation is fluid. It it worth constantly changing the map to keep up with the front lines? I suspect most people are aware Russia has occupied part of Ukraine, and the annexation isn't relevant: those areas are under Russian law regardless. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Rings (Iraq, India, Cambodia etc.)

I suggest to remove those weird and ugly rings for several reasons:


1. They are not clearly defined.


2. They make people wonder about their meaning.


3. They mislead people.

4. The information might be outdated.

5. They complicate the map.


6. They spoil the picture.

7. They are insignificant.

8. We can just mention about the "individual cases" on each country articles, instead of complicating the map. Dustssics (talk) 16:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Uganda 2

I've heard that Uganda already had the death penalty on homosexuality? Should we set it to dark brown like in Saudi Arabia or not? NepgearMahoNickel22H2 (talk) 13:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

From what little I know, it appears that, at least technically, the death penalty is for rape or child molestation. I think we'll need to wait and see how it actually plays out.

If that’s the reason, then not the protection level should be copied over there, but the file should be copied over here once you feel comfortable doing so, so that there’s no need to replace all file usages across (and potentially outside of) Wikimedia wikis. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
I understand. I think what I originally did was in the context of the change being substantial that I did not want to mess around with the current map, but if you think I can integrate my edits into this map then I am happy to do so after checking with you for anything that's missing. --Minoa (talk) 09:53, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
The only difference I've found so far is a border between Morocco proper and the Moroccan Sahara, but that seems minor. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 03:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
@Chipmunkdavis: I have updated that area. To everyone in general, what other borders require editing from the prototype map? --Minoa (talk) 11:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
I think being able to edit at states level, at least for Mexico, the US, Poland, Slovakia, and India would be very useful. Léna (talk) 21:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Romania

As far as I'm concerned new restritions of freedom of speech arcoding to the lgbt- like topics were brought in in Romania The Wolak (talk) 10:22, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Romania should be pink like Bulgaria, as per the 2018 EU court ruling.

Estonia

We need to change the color to dark purple, like Nepal because the same-sex marriage starts from 1 Januari 2024. -GogoLion (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

thats true. In Estonia same-sex marriage is allowed from 1 January 2024. --92.76.103.149 20

Chechnya

Although homosexuals are often killed in Chechnya, including allegedly by prison authorities, these are extrajudicial killings. There is no de jure death penalty for homosexuality in Chechnya, nor is there really a de facto death penalty, as although detention and torture are common, the authorities typically leave the actual killing to families and vigilantes. If we considered every case of homosexuals being killed in prison as that country having a death penalty, I think this map would look very different. I do think the orange status "Arrests, detention, imprisonment or de-facto illegal" would be appropriate for Chechnya, however. Also, it should probably be striped with gold since LGBT expression is actually illegal there. Nosferattus (talk) 18:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I might need a second opinion on that, but it seems Chechnya has a unique way of repressing the LGBT community in a way that the country may have to remain burgundy or beige-burgundy striped. --Minoa (talk) 22:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Papua New Guinea

In this ILGA-Report there is a mention of an arrest of two men made on 18 november 2022 for having sex. They were released on bail and were due to appear in court on 27 march 2023 but no new information about this seems to have been acquired since. Does this not mean that Papua New Guinea should be coloured orange instead of yellow? https://ilga.org/severe-spikes-arrests-prosecutions-lgbt-gender-diverse-people-2023 Kugelfisch002 (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Arrests are sufficient for orange status. --Minoa (talk) 22:09, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Qatar

Should Qatar be coloured dark orange (death penalty not enforced), since under sharia law muslim men who engage in homosexual sex can de jure be punished with death? Kugelfisch002 (talk) 20:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

That has been updated. --Minoa (talk) 02:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Punjab

According to Equaldex, homosexuality is "legal in Punjab", therefore shouldn't Punjab in this map be gray, and not yellow? GeometryCrown (talk) 02:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

That entry with the text was marked as "historical". I think homosexuality had been continuously banned nationwide since 1860, as a result of British colonial law. --Minoa (talk) 08:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
DON'T USE EQUALDEX AS REFERENCE! IT CAN BE EDITED BY ANYONE, SAME AS WIKIPEDIA. -GogoLion (talk) 14:15, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
