Domestic Partnership: 
a legal term meaning two cohabitating individuals (same-sex or opposite sex), which may (depending on the jurisdiction) bring with it certain legal protections and benefits.  Many employers and some cities, towns and states offer certain health care and other benefits to registered domestic partners.  Domestic partnerships are not the equivalent to gay marriage nor do they bring the same benefits.  Domestic partnerships are not recognized by the federal government.
