With respect, California enacted its Domestic Partner law in 1999 the UK's Civil Partnership Act wasn't passed until 2004. Earlier this year the California Supreme Court discovered that a right to gay marriage existed in the state's constitution even though no-one including their predessors had found it before. The majority of Califnornians sadly thought this should not be the case, and specifically ammened the consitution to say so. The domestic partnership law remains, sad but hardly the Dark Ages.
Surely of far more concern is all those states where gays and lesbians have no legal recognition for their relationships at all.
