Of course, employers should treat gay couples and heterosexual couples the same way. If it's to the company's advantage to offer partner benefits to unmarried couples, it should offer those benefits to both heterosexual and gay couples.
In many jurisdictions, companies may be required to offer benefits to spouses of employees. If this is the case, they should offer the same benefits to married gay couples that they offer to married straight couples.
