Sweden Moves Closer To Gay Marriage http://www.marriageequalityny.org/2007/10/sweden-moves-closer-to-gay-marriage.html http://365gay.com/Newscon08/01/012208swe.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.12.171.218 (talk) 09:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I included the last line of the introduction paragraph to clarify that the Partner Registration has been phased out as of May 1st, 2009 and no new registered partnerships will be allowed. Article left this piece ambiguous. --Danielle Askini —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.87.33 (talk) 06:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Sweden

Sweden will provide gay marriage from 1.May.2009. Also will the two males from Canada have there marriages recognised, even though the marriage was conducted in Canada BEFORE the effective date in Sweden? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk) 12:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Present/Past Tense

I think this article needs looking at re tenses. It has obviously ben written as time went along and I think it needs the encyclopedic style of past tense for everything now that the laws have been passed. IceDragon64 (talk) 09:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree with IceDragon64. In a related vein, the section entitled "Court Challenge" as labeled is misleading since it is not a challenge of the existing laws but a now-moot challenge of the previous marriage regime. I suggest deleting the section, or at least renaming it Legal Challenge Previous to Adoption of Same-Sex Marriage. Boegiboe (talk) 21:46, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Marriage still optional

The article now states that "all same sex couples will have to be married" and that is, of course, not true. Would someone like to re-write that sentence? Its English is, as far as I can see, quite poor... Fomalhaut76 (talk) 18:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I changed it a bit. TheLeftorium 18:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Following figure and text has been deleted (again) without following the normal procedure - that is a discussion. Figure and text are factual correct showing where Sweden stands vis-a-vis its neighbours. Ruud64 (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Laws regarding same-sex partnerships in Europe¹

  Marriage

  Civil union

  Limited domestic recognition (cohabitation)

  Limited foreign recognition (residency rights)

  Unrecognized

  Constitution limits marriage to opposite-sex couples

¹ May include recent laws or court decisions that have not yet entered into effect.

Allthough to date (early 2010) Sweden is only one out of 5 European countries to allow "full" same-sex marriage, many others (15 european countries as of early 2010) allow some sort of same-sex civil union as shown in the figure. Actually, Iceland and Finland are examples where the same-sex civil union grants more or less the same rights as "full" same-sex marriage but fell (just) short of calling a civil union a marriage.

Agree map should be shown - rather informative - too bad too many folks just delete without the decency of any discussion Grsd (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
