No. Not under current laws. You must be legally marriedand of the opposite sex.
Same-sex partners, even if legally married, are not able to collect their spouse's SS benefits; the Social Security Administration cannot (by law not by their own policy) recognize same-sex marriages due to the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

It's important to note that the Government views depends in terms of legal obligation (i.e., marriage or divorce), and current and former dependents receive any benefits based on current legal status, or if there is none, the military retiree's personal wishes. If there is a legal obligation to pay alimony or child support and it's not being paid, then you have a basis for legal case. That doesn't cover any benefits - it only applies to income, not any retiree benefits.
