Should same sex-partners be granted the same legal rights as traditional married couples?
Of course. Human rights and legal rights are for everyone.
Can domestic partners be discriminated against?
Yes and they frequently are. Domestic partners, which may be of either same or mixed genders, are often treated differently than legally married couples, particularly in the legal context. Right off the bat, there is an entirely different set of vocabulary words that are used in connection with their relationship. If they are registered, then they often are granted only a subset of legal rights and benefits of marriage. Although opposite-sex couples have consciously chosen not to marry, same-sex couples might have settled for domestic partnership because it was the only option available. If your question is whether it is legal to discriminate against domestic partners (i.e., treating them differently than legally married couples), then the answer in many jurisdictions is yes. In many states, the law itself draws a distinction between married couples and domestic partners. In some places, such as California, Oregon, Nevada and, for the time being, Washington state, state-registered domestic partners are entitled to be treated the same as legally married couples.
