Bonaire, Saba, Saint Eustatius now a part of the Netherlands edit
With the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, Bonaire, Saba, and Saint Eustatius have become part of the Netherlands and are subject to Dutch law. Their marriage laws must be gender neutral. For the first time, marriages between persons of the same sex can be conducted in the Caribbean.
Mozambique and the United Arab Emirates edit
- If you enter LGBT rights in Africa article you can notice that Mozambique is grey on the map, I don't know if consensual homosexual acts are officially legal in Mozambique but according to an article in the reference list of that page, the Mozamibican Justice Minister Benvinda Levi has stated that homosexuality is not a criminal offence in her country. - In the LGBT rights in the United Arab Emirates article it's stated that in sodomy cases the capital punishment might be applicable, so should the UAE be filled with brown colour on the map or not?
United Arab Emirates should be coloured brown because a death sentence is possible for committing homosexual acts. A dark blue ring should be placed in Cambodia to indicate that there has been at least one case of a recognized and registered marriage performed there. Marawi, Philippines should be coloured either yellow, light orange, dark orange, or brown depending on what the penalty is for committing homosexual acts in that city. Liberia should be coloured yellow because the penalty for homosexual acts is only a fine and not a jail sentence. Namibia should also be coloured yellow because homosexual acts are illegal but no penalties are currently enforced. Lebanon should be coloured yellow because homosexual acts are illegal but with a minimum penalty and very lax enforcement. United States jurisdictions run by the Coquille and Suquamish Aboriginal tribes should be coloured dark blue because they recognize and perform same-sex marriages.

Japan should be coloured light blue because they recognize foreign same-sex marriages but do not perform them in the country.
