The goal of any domestic partnership bill is to provide to unmarried couples some (or perhaps all) of the benefits and responsibilities of legal marriage. This is sometimes done by local governments in states where same-sex marriage is not legal. Although domestic partnerships were originally developed to protect same-sex couples, many domestic partnership registries are open to opposite-sex couples as well.
