21. The biggest difference is that Domestic Partnerships
do not have any legal standing in terms of private entities.
Their employers are not bound by DPs to offer benefits to partners of employees, and if they do those benefits are counted as income and are taxable on state and federal levels.
Private entities also can deny things like hospital visitation and the right to make medical decisions to Domestic Partners.
DPs also aren't recognized outside the state of California.
