Not likely, since a Hawaii reciprocal beneficiary relationship is not "comprehensive" in that it only offers limited rights and responsibilities and is not substantially equivalent to marriage. The ACLU says: Comprehensive domestic partnerships, such as those from California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, are also likely to be recognized as civil unions in Vermont, though this has not been conclusively determined. Consult a lawyer for more information.
