I do not consider necesary writting about French Guyana, since it is an overseas region of France, so it has not the status of "sovereign State". I think despite it is geographically located in South America the title in the chart is Country, I suggest it should be mentioned at the beggginig of the page. But it shall be removed from the main chart, and change from 5 to 4 "states" or Countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.29.180.228 (talk) 05:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Why is French Guyana not mentioned in this article? It's still part of South America. Czolgolz (talk) 01:19, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

French Guiana have very limited autonomy. Including it here would suggest that, the local governing bodies have the power regarding this issue. Ron 1987 (talk) 01:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands should't be included in the article, because the "Sub-national level" chart only includes jurisdictions where there is some kind of recognition, otherwise we should include all jurisdictions of all the South American countries that haven't legalized any kind of same-sex union. For example regions in Venezuela have autonomy, so according to the logic of including autonomic jurisdictions that haven't legalized same-sex unions, we should include all of Venezuela's regions, which would be counterproductive. We include in the subnational chart regions that have legalized some kind of same-sex relationship in a country that haven't to make the difference between them. --Freddy eduardo (talk) 17:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Brazil

I think the impact of Brazil legalizing gay marriage should be noted on the page. S.A is teh first continent where teh majority of people live in gay marriage states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.25.101 (talk) 13:33, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Merida, Venezuela

Is there really civil unions in that state?, the 3 citations refer to a guy from a local gay organization saying that they have civil unions, one can trust in his word, anyhow if that is really happening there, on-line information may be found. I search in Spanish for other sources, such as news web-pages or governmental information related to such legislation, but I couldn't find any. how they achieve that recognition, was it through a judicial decision or was a legislative iniciative?. It is no doubt important news for Venezuela, being Merida the first state recognizing SS unions would be reported in many web pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.29.183.232 (talk) 01:57, 3 June 2013 (UTC) - In this link they talk about legal situation of same sex couples in Venezuela and South America, and they do not mention anything about Merida. http://eltiempo.com.ve/venezuela/leyes/en-busca-del-matrimonio-gay-en-venezuela/92929 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.29.183.232 (talk) 05:08, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Chile

Update. The Congress approved the bill.http://www.washingtonblade.com/2015/01/28/chilean-civil-unions-bill-receives-final-approval/ .President Michelle Bachelet has to sign and promulgate the law ( supposedly March 2015). Civil Unions was a priority for Bachelet government. Also the support of Civil Unions is huge among politicians and Chileans, so there is no doubt this is going to become law. This is from the Chilean government official website, where the new law is explained. http://www.gob.cl/2015/01/30/acuerdo-de-union-civil-nuevos-beneficios-para-convivientes/

Translation. Civil Union Agreement: The new benefits for cohabitants.

• Important to mention.

-Recognition of civil unions celebrated abroad. With the passage of this law, now it recognized in Chile, civil unions and same sex marriages celebrated abroad, producing the same effect as a Civil Union.Fhebynes (talk) 05:51, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

RfC for the Recognition of Same-Sex Union Pages.

Could editors please join the discussion here? I don't want this to become inconclusive, other perspectives are needed. Thanks. Chase1493 (talk) 19:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Recognition of same-sex unions in South America

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Recognition of same-sex unions in South America's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
