Small Government

Very strongly 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 aligns with the small government ideology's emphasis on limited government intervention and individual liberties. This position allows for religious institutions to define marriage according to their beliefs while not imposing a specific definition on all citizens. This is the most agreeable position for small government proponents.

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

Supporting same-sex marriage but allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies aligns with the small government ideology's emphasis on individual liberties and limited government intervention.

Slightly agree

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

Allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage is a compromise position that some small government proponents may support. This position allows for legal recognition of same-sex relationships without using the term 'marriage,' which may be more acceptable to those with religious objections. The score is slightly positive because it represents a middle ground that some within the ideology may find agreeable.
