Following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts on May 17, 2004, the issue of domestic partnerships in that state has diminished in importance.Under State Law:There has never been a legal definition of domestic partnership under Massachusetts state law and the ACLU says that it is undetermined whether a California, Nevada or Oregon domestic partnership would be recognized as a legal marriage in Massachusetts. Domestic partnerships registered elsewhere are not likely to be held as equivalent to marriage in MA.Under Local Law:The cities of Boston and Cambridge still provide limited rights to registered domestic partners.

It is uncertain whether the Towns of Brookline, Brewster, Nantucket and Provincetown still provide rights to domestic partners.
