Same-sex marriage (or "same-sex unions) in flux" is a term that describes a form of same-sex union — either same-sex marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership that has been legally enabled or approved by the government or the courts, but such legislation has yet to come into force. The most notable examples would be Ecuador and Nepal, though the situation in Nepal is not seemingly stalled as in Ecuador, therefore Nepali same-sex marriages should be legal by 2010 at the latest.
The term "in flux" helps other users and readers diaffentirerate between a country or region that has already ruled in favor of legalizing such unions, yet has yet to accommodate the ruling, and a country or region that is currently debating future legislation of same-sex unions of some form.
