Slovenia

There seems to be a dispute over whether Slovenia recognizes civil unions or civil marriages. I've added the marriage info twice based on this source: [1] (also: [2], [3], [4]) and was reverted by an anon IP both times. This is confounding, but I'm going to guess their point was the arguable one that if guests are restricted, it's not full marriage. If that's the distinction they're trying to draw, it's an arguable one. Fireplace 12:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not called "marriage" in Slovenia, so by definition it's not same-sex marriage, but only domestic partnership/civil union. (Pick your poison.) —Nightstallion (?) 21:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It s a cvil union (!) not a domestic partnership but also not a civil marriage.--GLGerman 13:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)GLGerman[reply]

Does anyone have a source for this? Again, see all the links above calling it marriage. Fireplace 13:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Slovenia has been up on Same-sex marriage for a couple days now (with a footnote about the ceremony requirements) and no one has removed it (other than a vandal) or provided a contradictory source. So, I'm going to float it on this article again, with a footnote. Again, the main justification is the news stories above which call it marriage. Fireplace 04:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this is very tentative given what some editors have said. If anyone has contradictory sources, please post them. Fireplace 04:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I've stated elsewhere before, that's most definitely wrong. I'd trust gay rights sources much more on the intricate details than just general news sources; compare http://365gay.com/Newscon06/07/072406slovenia.htm for instance, which calls it "domestic partnerships". A lot of sources also called the UK's civil union "marriage", but it definitely isn't (the distinction was even argued before courts quite recently). —Nightstallion (?) 12:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Italy

The European and world map need to be changed as no civil unions nor gay marriages are recognised in Italy.

Number of states not allowing same-sex marriages

Data from the liberal organisation "Human Rights Campaign" suggests that there are 45 states in total that do not allow gay marriage. Of these, 19 have passed a constitutional amendment that limits marriage to one man and one woman. See http://hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Center&CONTENTID=28225&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm. This information was last updated in July 2006 and may therefore be more accurate than the data provided by the Heritage Foundation that this article cites.

The U.K

There isn't any mention of the U.K (were same-sex marriage is legal). Wikisquared 17:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is mentioned, and no, the U.K. does not have same-sex marriages. It has Civil Partnerships, which are not the same thing. - Outerlimits 17:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That s right: In U.K. we have civil unions (but the rights of a civil uion there is nearly the same as same-sex marriage)GLGerman 21:06, 7 September 2006 (UTC)GLGerman[reply]
