Sure, as long as we're only talking about state-level benefits. Still no federal social security benefits or joint tax filing status, to name a few.
Oh, and due to the legal limbo related to "marriage" vs. "domestic partnership," domestic partnerships/civil unions recognized by other states are recognized as such in California, but because California doesn't recognize same-sex marriages made in other states, my and Matt's marriage in Boston next year won't be recognized at all in California, not even as the "equivalent" domestic partnership. We'd have to go to Boston for a marriage that would be recognized in many places in Europe as well as Canada, then California to get a domestic partnership that's recognized with limited rights by New Jersey, Switzerland, the UK, and a few other places. And I still wouldn't have a fraction of the rights I would get in a regular marriage.

That leaves us only with the use of a term and that sounds like a stalemate.
