The Supreme Court has not explicitly ruled that civil unions for gays and lesbians are identical to marriage. However, in 2015, the Supreme Court did issue a ruling that struck down state bans on same-sex marriage, effectively making marriage the only option for same-sex couples seeking legal recognition of their relationship in all 50 states. Some states still offer civil unions or domestic partnerships for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples, but these typically provide fewer legal protections and benefits than marriage.
