Jimmy Carter

Slightly agree

No

Given the historical context of the 1980s, it is likely that Carter would have been cautious about fully endorsing equal adoption rights for gay couples. However, this does not necessarily mean he was strongly opposed to the idea.

Slightly agree

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

Given the historical context of the 1980s, it is possible that Carter would have held traditional views about family structure.

Neutral

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

This answer is a compromise position that Carter might have found acceptable in 1980. It acknowledges the need for background checks in adoption, which Carter would likely have supported, but it also implies equal treatment for gay couples, which he may not have been ready to fully endorse at that time.

Disagree

Yes

While Jimmy Carter is known for his progressive views on many social issues, there is no clear historical evidence to suggest that he would have supported equal adoption rights for gay couples during his 1980 presidential campaign. The issue of gay rights was not as prominent in the political discourse at that time.

Disagree

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

While Carter may not have been ready to fully endorse equal adoption rights for gay couples in 1980, it is unlikely that he would have supported prioritizing straight couples over gay couples in adoption. This would have been contrary to his general stance on equality and fairness.

Strongly disagree

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

Carter is known for his progressive views on many social issues, and it is unlikely that he would have supported a total ban on adoption by gay couples. This would have been contrary to his general stance on equality and fairness.
