Shall we add Bermuda to the North America map?

edit

I am wondering if we should put Bermuda on the North America map. It is not on any local LGBT rights map other than the global maps. Yet it fits on the map. Shall we add it?

According to Wikipedia's page on North America, Bermuda is part of North America. "In a geologic sense, Bermuda is not part of the Americas, but an oceanic island which was formed on the fissure of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge over 100 million years ago. The nearest landmass to it is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. However, Bermuda is often thought of as part of North America, especially given its historical, political and cultural ties to Virginia and other parts of the continent."

Bermuda has marriage equality

If we add it, it also begs the slippery-slope/precedent question: Should we make a map that has all of North America including Central America and the Caribbean? (Note: If such a map is created, I don't favor deleting the map for Homosexuality laws in Central America and the Caribbean Islands )

Is Saint-Pierre and Miquelon covered by the North America map? Does it need a blue dot? It "is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France" and therefore has marriage equality as part of France.

Lack of Specification on Transgender Rights

edit

Is it possible we could get an actual titular section on transgender rights and protections? There are two entire sections that focus exclusively on LGB issues (largely marriage) and a single checkbox about whether there is 'some kind of legal acknowledgement of transgender people'. That is incredibly vague, as there is a vast difference in countries that only allow Gender Confirmation Surgeries as proof of transgender identities and those that have more lax policy around identification. In addition the article could mention the legality and ease of access to Hormone Replacement Therapy, the existence (or lack) of laws surrounding anti-trans hate crimes specifically, whether it is possible to modify all legal documents to the updated gender identity or only some (many places exclude birth certificate), and if there is any recognition of third gender options either historically or current (I don't believe there are any currently, but it would still be a helpful sentence to just say "No countries in South American currently recognize a legal third gender.") 2601:193:8300:4B20:A1BF:B0AB:31AA:AA6E (talk) 19:07, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Aruba and Curaçao

edit

As of the 7th of March 2023 same sex marriage has been legal in both Aruba and Curaçao. It even says it in this Wikipedia page so it should be changed in the text and map. 2001:1C05:2207:2A00:C5B0:59D3:E82D:9786 (talk) 20:37, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
