I suspect this varies.
However, to my knowledge CA provided everything the state had power to grant. Thus, why are people still trying to be included under the "marriage" label?
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm sure someone knows more about CA domestic partnership law. But my point is that this isn't just about equal benefits, it is about semantics too (on both sides). I don't think the gay community would be satisfied by a national marriage equivalent which goes by a different name.
