Jimmy Carter

Agree

No

Agree

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

Given the social climate of the time and the lack of public support for same-sex marriage, it's likely that Carter would have agreed with this statement in 1980.

Agree

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

While there's no specific historical reference to Carter supporting civil unions over same-sex marriage in 1980, it's plausible that he might have seen this as a compromise position given the social climate of the time.

Neutral

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

There's no clear historical evidence to suggest that Carter would have supported removing the government from the institution of marriage entirely. As a devout Baptist, he might have had complex views on the intersection of religion and government in this area.

Slightly disagree

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

While Carter's views have evolved over time, in 1980 it's unlikely that he would have supported same-sex marriage, even with the provision allowing churches to refuse to perform such ceremonies. However, his religious faith might have made him more sympathetic to the idea of religious institutions having the right to decide for themselves.
