A domestic partner is, by definition, a relative and family member under the law which grants registration of the domestic partnership. This may be either a local ordinance or a state law. If a local ordinance, then that locality recognizes a DP as a relative and perhaps other localities with similar ordinances would also, but reciprocity is not guaranteed. If the DP was formed under state law, then other states and foreign countries will often recognize a DP as a legal spouse.
As for social recognition of a same-sex domestic partner as a family member, this is often the case, but homophobic and/or conservative persons may intentionally single out a DP for treatment that makes it clear to others that the partner is not accepted as a family member in order to call attention to their own disapproval of gays and lesbians.
