What should we do with states that legalized same-sex marriage, and consequently phase out civil unions, i.e. they are no longer available/performed but still recognized (until a certain date or indefinitely)? This is the case for Delaware, soon for Rhode Island and probably more to follow. I added a note for Delaware to be consistent with showing states where same-sex marriage is recognized but not performed, but User:Ron 1987 removed Delaware. I just think we should be consistent.

The reference to the federal government's recognition of SSM is more appropriately placed in the 'Same-sex marriage legalized' section, as opposed to the 'Same-sex marriage recognized but not performed' section. I think the implicit assumption of the 'SSM recognized but not performed' section is that any jurisdiction listed there has the authority to issue marriage licenses (whether opposite- or same-sex). Because the federal government does not have this authority--and any change to that seems highly unlikely--I think it's more accurate to list in the 'SSM legalized' section.

Maybe it should be more broad and cover Kentucky (stayed but only about out-of-state recognition, not licensing) and Ohio (Death certficate recognition only, being appealed but IIRC still in effect).-- occono ( talk) 15:06, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
I changed Indiana's listing here to marriage, but the link remains for now at Recognition of same-sex unions in Indiana. Should we redirect that? Bearian ( talk) 16:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Um ... in a second decision today, Utah also has marriage equality! Bearian ( talk) 16:27, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

I was wondering what everyone thought of adding a section where the gay marriage bans were upheld. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the bans on Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. 2602:306:372B:CAC9:347A:B716:B0BE:D6FA ( talk) 20:50, 15 November 2014 (UTC) (Mike in Missouri)
This template it a little messy right now. I feel like it would be easier to navigate if the above section didn't have so much stuff in it for one. ★Trekker ( talk) 15:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
