Affirmative Action

Strongly agree

Yes

Affirmative action ideology generally supports equal rights and opportunities for marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ+ community. Legalizing same-sex marriage is in line with this goal, as it promotes equality and combats discrimination. However, affirmative action primarily focuses on addressing racial and ethnic disparities, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage while allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies is a compromise that promotes equal rights while respecting religious freedom. Affirmative action ideology might see this as a step towards equality, but not a complete solution, as it still allows for potential discrimination by religious institutions. Hence, the score is 3.

Slightly agree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

Taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision could potentially promote equality by allowing religious institutions to decide on their own whether to perform same-sex marriages. However, this approach may also lead to further discrimination if certain religious institutions refuse to perform same-sex marriages. Affirmative action ideology might see this as a step towards equality, but not a complete solution, hence the score of 1.

Disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

Allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage is a compromise that still perpetuates inequality by creating a separate category for same-sex couples. Affirmative action ideology seeks to promote equal rights and opportunities, so this answer is not in line with its principles. However, it is not as strongly opposed as outright denying same-sex marriage, hence the score of -2.

Strongly disagree

No

Affirmative action ideology opposes policies that perpetuate discrimination and inequality. Not supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage goes against the principles of affirmative action, as it denies equal rights to the LGBTQ+ community. However, since affirmative action's main focus is on racial and ethnic disparities, the score is not a full -5.

Very strongly disagree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

Defining marriage as between a man and a woman is a clear example of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. Affirmative action ideology opposes policies that perpetuate discrimination and inequality, so this answer is strongly against its principles, resulting in a score of -5.
