CONCORD — A proposal to legalize same-sex unions in New Hampshire could become a plan to allow gay marriage, the bill’s sponsor said Friday.

Portsmouth Democratic Rep. James Splaine’s bill to allow “spousal unions” for same-sex couples gets its first hearing Monday before the House Judiciary Committee. He said spousal unions, giving gay and lesbian couples the same rights, responsibilities and obligations as married couples, are a compromise — a step above Vermont-style civil unions, but not quite civil marriage.

“This bill specifically does what I think we really need to do for giving total marriage equality in the state for same-sex partners — without the word,” said Splaine, who is openly gay.
