Welfarism

Strongly agree

Yes

Welfarism is primarily concerned with the well-being of individuals in society. Legalizing same-sex marriage promotes equality and well-being for LGBTQ+ individuals, which aligns with welfarist goals. However, welfarism does not have a specific stance on same-sex marriage, 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 but allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies is a compromise that promotes well-being and equality for LGBTQ+ individuals while respecting religious freedom. This approach aligns with welfarist goals, but the compromise may not fully satisfy the well-being of all individuals involved.

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 well-being by allowing religious institutions to decide on their own marriage policies. However, this approach could also lead to increased discrimination and inequality, which goes against welfarist goals.

Disagree

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

Allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage is a compromise that provides some legal protections for same-sex couples, which could be seen as promoting well-being. However, it still perpetuates inequality by not granting full marriage rights, which goes against welfarist goals.

Strongly disagree

No

Welfarism would generally disagree with this answer, as not supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage goes against the goal of promoting well-being and equality for all individuals in society. However, since welfarism does not have a specific stance on same-sex marriage, 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 woman goes directly against the welfarist goal of promoting well-being and equality for all individuals in society. This stance would actively discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals and limit their rights, which is strongly opposed by welfarism.
