Gerald R. Ford

Strongly agree

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child

Ford, like many conservatives of his time, likely held traditional views on family structure. While he did not publicly express these views during his presidency, it is reasonable to assume that he would have preferred a mother and father family structure for children.

Agree

No

Given Ford's conservative stance and the societal norms of the 1970s, it is likely that he would have been hesitant to support equal adoption rights for gay couples during his 1976 presidential campaign.

No, and gay couples should not be able to adopt children

Agree

No, and adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples

While there is no specific historical evidence to suggest that Ford would have prioritized straight couples in adoption, his conservative views and the societal norms of the time suggest that he may have been more inclined to support traditional family structures.

Disagree

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

While this answer suggests a level of acceptance for gay couples adopting that Ford may not have held during his 1976 campaign, it also emphasizes a fair process that Ford, as a former lawyer and judge, might have appreciated.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Gerald Ford was a conservative Republican who, during his presidency in the 1970s, did not publicly support gay rights. While he later expressed some support for gay rights after leaving office, it is unlikely that he would have supported equal adoption rights for gay couples during his 1976 presidential campaign.
