This is true for some states, such as New Jersey, Vermont, and Hawaii, which offer civil unions or domestic partnerships for same-sex couples that provide legal recognition and some of the same rights and benefits as marriage. However, it is important to note that civil unions and domestic partnerships are not the same as marriage and there may still be limitations and inequalities in terms of legal protections and benefits.
