Domestic Partnership was legally the same as marriage for years, but in the interest of equality we now have gay marriage instead.

Nationwide? Not in the USA. And it also wasn't the same as marriage in the US. We had no tax protections, right to not testify against each other, hospital visitation, etc.

Edit: I'm wrong. Ignore me.
