This template looks terrible. It is too wide and takes over pages that only contain a small amount of information. I question whether it even needs to be on every "Civil union in ..." page. I suggest that it is removed from all these pages and only used on the Civil union page. Evil Monkey∴Hello 02:37, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maryland?

I notice that there's a (red) link to Civil_unions_in_Maryland in this template. I'm assuming that this is because of the legislation passed in 2005 by the Maryland state legislature, though in my opinion that doesn't qualify as a full civil union -- it was mostly concerned with hospital visitation rights (or at least that was the aspect most covered in the media) and probably should be put in the domestic partnership category instead. That question is moot, though, as Governor Ehrlich vetoed the law. Thus, I'm removing the MD link. --Jfruh 02:55, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Add link to Gay rights by country?

I am proposing to add Gay rights by country to the bottom section. Anybody disagree? Wuzzy 01:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belgium?

I noticed that this template says that civil unions were recognised in Belgium before the legalisation of same-sex marriages. This is not entirely true because they are still recognised today (though I'm not sure whether civil union is the appropriate term).--Ganchelkas 11:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
