The legal status of same-sex marriages and unions in each state is indicated by a fill pattern selected by one of the following codes.
New multi-color combinations for compound statuses to put in the SVG defs section are easy to construct: The pattern may be invoked and its center positioned so that it fully overlaps the clipping path used to define the shape of a state or territory.
Only the inset lines and the white circle outline for the enlarged, circular representation of Washington D.C. have hard-coded colors.
So that the SVG file can easily be edited even with crude text editors like Notepad, it is helpful to use CRLF for the line endings.

Gov's absence.
On a separate note: I'm monitoring news stories heavily about Marriage in the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.

Prcc27 (talk) 07:41, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] According to Equality Kansas, the state is now recognizing same-sex couples' marriages, meaning only the territories are holding out.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Awyow (talk • contribs) 00:17, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] My mistake, I linked the executive order and not the press release and statements by Brownback.
http://governor.ks.gov/media-room/media-releases/2015/07/07/governor-sam-brownback-issues-executive-order-protecting-the-religious-freedom-of-kansas-clergy-and-religious-organizations Awyow (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] From the other Talk page, posted by Htonl: Kansas has now conceded, apparently: The order comes a day after Brownback quietly allowed state agencies to comply with the high court's ruling, so couples can now do things like place state workers’ spouses on health care plans.
[...] Eileen Hawley, Brownback’s spokeswoman, on Tuesday downplayed the move to finally implement the high court's decision, saying it wasn’t a “directive” from the governor’s office.
http://stcroixsource.com/content/news/local-news/2015/07/13/superior-court-move-forward-same-sex-marriage-licenses Awyow (talk) 03:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] The access to benefits was your standard of recognition over the Kansas dispute.
"The ruling also gives lawfully married same sex couples the equal rights to put their spouses on their health insurance, designate beneficiaries, designate individuals to make decisions on their behalf in their time of illness, and file join tax returns at Bureau of Internal Revenue."
Plus the precedent would apply if American Samoans are deemed as citizens in a ruling from a current lawsuit in the DC Circuit.
But since I have no ability to change the map I'll just enjoy watching people having conniptions over the colors of the three itty bitty territories.
If you keep reverting I'll ask administration to intervene as clearly you are the only person who thinks VI is not fullys legal and cannot produce a source to prove anyone is being denied rights despite the fact (that you conceded to) that licenses are being given.
Also, I will report you to an admin if you keep shouting at me.... Prcc27 (talk) 23:46, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] IMO, the Virgin Islands footnote completely mis-characterises the situation in USVI, and needs to be removed.
Njsustain (talk) 14:00, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] Currently the map has different colours for the CNMI and American Samoa.
One is captioned, "Northern Mariana Islands is determining how to apply Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges.
Same sex marriages are currently neither recognized nor licensed," while the other is captioned, "Local authorities are discussing the applicability of U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges to American Samoa."
- htonl (talk) 03:00, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] That's understandable, though I still think needlessly complicated when there is only one non-complying entity for each color.
Njsustain (talk) 05:42, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] I'm proposing a radically new legend which I hope can be all things to all people and avoid any future edit wars.
Njsustain (talk) 18:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] ...and removed the map from the two en.wp articles where it was still present, for the reasons discussed in several of the sections above.
for American Samoa and basically leave it alone....Naraht (talk) 18:31, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore issued an order today (Wednesday 06 January 2016) stating the a March 2015 order by the Supreme Court was still in effect and that Probate Judges cannot issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
107.199.150.70 (talk) 19:49, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply] Should Alabama be colored purple again due to the State Supreme Court going rogue again?
[16] Prcc27 (talk) 08:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply] We weren't even bothering to use this map in the SSM in the US article any more, so I changed the scope to cover tribal govts, Alabaman counties, etc.
The tribal govts are all the main ones (all the ones with populations > 5,000, plus some smaller), but even then some might should be changed from grey to purple or vice versa, due to poor coverage in RS's and uncertainty in some of the local laws (some of which have probably not yet been tried in court).
