Just a piece of information, for what it is worth:
At the company I work for, the benefits for same sex couples are the same as for married hetero couples. If you "live with," but are not married to, your hetero significant other in the same conditions that the same sex couple live in, you do not get the same benefits, however. The reason for this is that there is no method for the same-sex couple to have a legally binding commitment, so the company accepts their word instead. I heard the VP of HR state that as soon as there was a legalization of "marriage" for same-sex couples, they would be required to present the same "documentation" of their commitment as heterosexual couples do.
