In some states, a domestic partnership is a legally recognized relationship between members of a same-sex couple, with rights similar to those of a marriage relationship.
As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, Georgia does not legally recognize domestic partnerships at the state level. This means that there is no statewide legal status that provides same-sex couples with rights similar to those of marriage. However, some local jurisdictions within Georgia may offer domestic partnership registries that confer certain limited rights and benefits. For example, the city of Atlanta has a domestic partnership registry that allows couples to receive certain benefits, such as visitation rights in hospitals and jails. It's important to note that these local registries do not provide the full array of legal rights and responsibilities that come with state-recognized marriage. Same-sex marriage itself has been legal across the United States since the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, which means that same-sex couples in Georgia have the option to marry and thereby obtain all the state and federal benefits of marriage.
