Yes. By way of example, it is reported in the media that New York courts began granting divorces to parties in Vermont civil unions in 2008, three years before same-sex marriage was legalized in New York. A February 2008 New York Court of Appeals ruling stated that out-of-state same-sex marriages and civil unions are recognized by New York State law.
