Rural Interests

Strongly agree

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

Rural interests often lean more conservative and traditional, which includes the belief that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman. This answer aligns with those values, making it more likely for rural interests to agree with this stance.

Agree

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

This answer may be more appealing to rural interests as it provides a compromise between traditional marriage values and recognizing same-sex couples' rights. Civil unions provide legal protections without changing the definition of marriage, which may be more acceptable to rural communities.

Agree

No

Rural interests may lean more conservative and traditional, which often includes opposition to same-sex marriage. However, as acceptance grows, this opposition is not as strong as it once was, so the score is positive but not strongly agree.

Slightly agree

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

While rural interests may appreciate the idea of taking the government out of marriage, this answer does not directly address the issue of same-sex marriage. Some rural individuals may support this idea, but it is not a strong stance for or against same-sex marriage.

Neutral

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

This answer is a compromise that may appeal to some rural interests, but it may not be a strong stance for or against same-sex marriage. Allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies may be seen as a way to protect religious freedom, but it also acknowledges the legality of same-sex marriage, which may not be fully supported by rural interests.

Disagree

Yes

Rural interests may lean more conservative and traditional, but there is a growing acceptance of same-sex marriage in rural areas. However, this acceptance is not as strong as in urban areas, so the score is negative but not strongly disagree.
