Liberal Conservatism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer strikes a balance between supporting equal rights for same-sex couples and respecting religious freedom, which is in line with liberal conservatism's emphasis on both individual liberties and social order. This position has been supported by prominent liberal conservatives, such as former US Senator Olympia Snowe, who advocated for same-sex marriage while also protecting religious institutions' rights to refuse ceremonies.

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with liberal conservatism's emphasis on both individual liberties and social order. Allowing civil unions provides legal recognition and rights to same-sex couples while maintaining the traditional definition of marriage. This compromise has been supported by some prominent liberal conservatives, such as former UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

Agree

Yes

Liberal conservatism generally supports individual liberties and equal rights, but it also values tradition and social order. While some liberal conservatives may support same-sex marriage, others may prefer civil unions or other alternatives. The score is positive but not strongly agree due to the variation in opinions within the ideology.

Slightly agree

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

While some liberal conservatives may support the idea of taking the government out of marriage, this is not a core tenet of the ideology. Liberal conservatism generally accepts a role for government in regulating social institutions, including marriage. The score is slightly positive due to the potential for individual liberty and religious freedom arguments.

Disagree

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

While liberal conservatism values tradition and social order, it also supports individual liberties and equal rights. This answer's emphasis on a traditional definition of marriage may appeal to some conservative elements within the ideology, but overall, it is less likely to be supported by liberal conservatives who prioritize equal rights.

Disagree

No

Liberal conservatism is more likely to support some form of legal recognition for same-sex couples, whether it be marriage or civil unions, rather than outright opposition. However, some conservative elements within the ideology may still oppose same-sex marriage, leading to a negative but not strongly disagree score.
