More details to this question:
Hi, I used to live with my partner in Brazil, we've been together for 5 years. She's an american citizen and I'm from Brazil I'm here on a tourist visa and my stay expires in May. She wants to live here now and I wanted to know what has to be done. Since it's a same sex civil union will it be difficult to get a greencard?

You must be married. A civil union is not a sufficient basis through which to pursue a green card. The good news is you can marry in any state and once married you could pursue a green card. You can read more about family-based immigration at http://myattorneyusa.com/family-immigration.
