Too much focus on same-sex unions, including same-sex marriage[edit]

This is an article about civil unions. I feel that there should be more focus on civil unions and not same-sex unions.

For example the map of Europe with the status recognition of same-sex unions is not relevant here. I would instead use a map of Europe with recognition of civil unions, split by:

  • for same-sex couples only
  • for different-sex couples only (if any)
  • for both same-sex and different-sex couples

Similarly, the whole section about "List of jurisdictions recognizing same-sex unions" is relevant in an article about same-sex unions, not in article about civil unions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ditsonis (talk • contribs) 09:51, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. In many jurisdictions, civil unions or civil partnerships are only open to homosexuals, and this can be regarded as disriminatory (I've just added a paragraph referencing the UK Supreme Court's decision of June 2018, saying so). But while they are, it is not surprising the majority of the content is about same-sex unions: that just reflects reality. It would seem the right article title per WP:COMMONNAME.
The whole of the list section should probably be deleted: it is covered in the main Same-sex union legislation article. That may address the balance a bit. 178.164.139.37 (talk) 09:41, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I added some information about European countries and civil union for heterosexual couples, hope there comes more! :) EiersalatmitGurken (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC))[reply]

The West[edit]

Only concentrated in the Western world and completely ignores Africa and Asia Nlivataye (talk) 07:35, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nlivataye That's because there aren't civil unions in Asia and Africa, save a few examples which do get mentioned, e.g. Taiwan.
